The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided, and determine their truth values and their relationship to each other. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that broadly utilitarian arguments advocate for the conservation of biodiversity because it plays a significant role in ecosystem services provided by nature. - This is true, as biodiversity does contribute to various ecosystem services such as pollination, water purification, and climate regulation. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason claims that the exploration of molecular, genetic, and species-level diversity for economic products falls under the broadly utilitarian category. - This statement is false. The exploration of molecular and genetic diversity for economic benefits is actually classified under narrowly utilitarian arguments, which focus on direct economic benefits derived from biodiversity (often referred to as bioprospecting). 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. 4. **Choosing the Correct Option**: - Based on the analysis, the correct option is (c) - "If assertion is true but reason is false." ### Final Answer: (c) If assertion is true but reason is false. ---
