The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Interferons are a type of antibodies produced by body cells infected by bacteria." - To evaluate this, we need to know what interferons are. Interferons are not antibodies; they are glycoproteins produced by cells in response to viral infections, not bacterial infections. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Interferons stimulate inflammation at the site of injury." - While interferons do play a role in the immune response, they are primarily involved in antiviral defense rather than directly stimulating inflammation. Inflammation is typically a response to injury or infection, but interferons specifically act to signal neighboring cells to enhance their antiviral defenses. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Each Statement**: - The assertion is false because interferons are not antibodies and are produced by virus-infected cells, not bacteria-infected cells. - The reason is also false because interferons do not primarily stimulate inflammation; they are involved in the antiviral response. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer is that both statements are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are false.
