The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Polyhedrovirus is called a baculovirus." - **Explanation**: Polyhedroviruses are indeed a type of baculovirus. Baculoviruses are a family of viruses that primarily infect insects, and polyhedroviruses are a subgroup within this family. Therefore, this assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "Nucleopolyhedrovirus is employed to control Bacillus bacteria." - **Explanation**: Nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) is a type of baculovirus that specifically targets insect pests, not bacteria. Bacillus is a genus of bacteria, and nucleopolyhedroviruses do not control them. Therefore, this reason is **false**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Now we need to determine if the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the reason does not serve as a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Conclusion - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: False - The correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer The assertion is true, and the reason is false. ---
