The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Periodic abstinence is a method in which couples avoid coitus from day 17 to 27 of the menstrual cycle." - This statement is incorrect because the ovulation period typically occurs around day 14 to 17 of the menstrual cycle, not from day 17 to 27. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is that "Periodic abstinence is a very effective method and 100% sure of birth control." - This statement is also incorrect. Periodic abstinence is not 100% effective because it relies on predicting the ovulation period, which can vary among women and even from cycle to cycle for the same woman. 3. **Analyzing Both Statements**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we conclude that neither statement holds true. 4. **Determining the Correct Option**: - Based on the analysis, we can eliminate options that claim either statement is true. - The correct option is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are false. ---
