The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding gallstones, we will break down the information provided in the assertion and reason statements step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that gallstones are pebble-sized structures that form in the gallbladder. - This is a true statement as gallstones indeed are small, hard deposits that can develop in the gallbladder. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that gallstones develop when excess cholesterol in the bile precipitates out of solution, trapping calcium and bile salts. - This is also a true statement. Gallstones, particularly cholesterol stones, form when there is an imbalance in the substances that make up bile. 3. **Formation of Bile**: - Bile is produced in the liver and is composed of water, electrolytes, bile acids, cholesterol, phospholipids, and bilirubin. - When there is too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts in the bile, the cholesterol can crystallize and form stones. 4. **Classification of Gallstones**: - Gallstones are classified based on their chemical composition into three types: cholesterol stones, pigment stones, and calcium stones. - Cholesterol stones form when there is an excess of cholesterol in the bile, leading to its precipitation. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are true. The reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
