The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the lateral line system is found in fishes and aquatic larval amphibians. - This is true because the lateral line system is indeed a sensory organ system that helps these aquatic animals detect water movements and pressure changes. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that the lateral line system has receptors of sensory cells derived from ectoderm. - This is also true, as the sensory cells of the lateral line system originate from the ectoderm layer during embryonic development. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - While both the assertion and reason are true, the reason does not specifically explain why the lateral line system is found in these organisms. It merely states a fact about the origin of the sensory cells. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion, the correct answer is that both are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.**
