The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided: ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "threatened species are those living species which have been greatly reduced in their number and are liable to become extinct if the causative factors continue." - This statement is true. Threatened species are indeed those that have seen a significant decline in their population and are at risk of extinction if the factors contributing to their decline are not addressed. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "IUCN is an international organization which maintains the IUCN red list of threatened species, to assess the conservation status of different species." - This statement is also true. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) does maintain the Red List, which categorizes species based on their conservation status, including those that are threatened. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason Now we need to determine whether the reason provided is a correct explanation of the assertion. - While both statements are true, the reason does not explain why species are considered threatened. It provides information about the IUCN and the Red List but does not clarify the definition of threatened species or the factors leading to their status. ### Conclusion Since both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not explain the assertion, the correct answer is: **(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.** ---
