The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "the space between the cornea and the lens is called the vitreous chamber." - This statement is incorrect. The space between the cornea and the lens is actually called the **aqueous chamber** (or anterior chamber), which contains a fluid known as **aqueous humor**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "the space between the lens and retina is called the aqueous chamber." - This statement is also incorrect. The space between the lens and the retina is referred to as the **vitreous chamber** (or vitreous body), which contains a gel-like substance known as **vitreous humor**. 3. **Evaluating the Truthfulness**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we conclude that neither statement accurately describes the anatomical structures of the eye. 4. **Final Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false. ---
