AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Germ Layers**: - In animal development, germ layers are the primary layers of cells that form during embryonic development. There are three main types of germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. 2. **Definition of Triploblastic and Diploblastic**: - Triploblastic organisms have three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm). - Diploblastic organisms have only two germ layers (ectoderm and endoderm) and lack a mesoderm. Instead, they may have a non-cellular layer called mesoglia. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "All the animals have three germ layers in their development." This is incorrect because some animals, such as those in the phyla Porifera (sponges), Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals), and Ctenophora (comb jellies), are diploblastic and only possess ectoderm and endoderm. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason states that "All the animals are triploblastic." This is also incorrect. While many animals are triploblastic (starting from the phylum Platyhelminthes), there are significant groups of animals that are diploblastic. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer is that both statements are incorrect. **Final Answer**: Both the assertion and reason are false. ---
