The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Insulin stimulates glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis resulting in hyperglycemia." - **Clarification**: Insulin actually promotes glycogenesis (the conversion of glucose to glycogen) and lowers blood sugar levels, rather than increasing them. Glycogenolysis (the breakdown of glycogen to glucose) and gluconeogenesis (the formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources) are processes stimulated by glucagon, not insulin. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Prolonged hyperglycemia leads to a complex disorder called diabetes insipidus." - **Clarification**: Prolonged hyperglycemia is associated with diabetes mellitus, not diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus is a condition characterized by excessive thirst and excretion of large amounts of severely diluted urine, which is unrelated to blood sugar levels. 3. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. The assertion incorrectly attributes the roles of glucagon to insulin, and the reason incorrectly identifies the disorder associated with prolonged hyperglycemia. 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are incorrect.
