The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate the assertion and reason provided and determine their validity based on the definitions of critically endangered and vulnerable species. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the critically endangered category includes species that have sufficient populations but are undergoing depletion due to some factors. - This is incorrect as critically endangered species are those that are facing a very high risk of extinction and typically have a declining population. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that the vulnerable category includes species that are facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild and can become extinct at any moment. - This is also incorrect because vulnerable species are those that are at risk but not at the immediate threat of extinction. They may have sufficient populations but are at risk due to various factors. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Assertion and Reason**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect based on the definitions provided by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), we conclude that both statements are false. 4. **Selecting the Correct Option**: - Given that both the assertion and reason are false, the correct answer is (d) If both assertion and reason are false. ### Final Answer: (d) If both assertion and reason are false.
