The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason statements provided in the question, we will break down each statement and evaluate their correctness step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states: "Taste buds are called the sense organs for olfaction." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. Taste buds are primarily responsible for the sense of taste (gustation), not smell (olfaction). The sense organ for olfaction is the nasal epithelium located in the nasal cavity. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states: "Taste buds bear olfactory receptor cells which get stimulated by certain chemical substances." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also incorrect. Taste buds do not contain olfactory receptor cells. Instead, they contain taste receptor cells that respond to different taste stimuli. Olfactory receptors are found in the nasal epithelium and are responsible for detecting smells. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we conclude that the correct answer is that both statements are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ---
