AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that it is beneficial to feed newborn infants on mother's milk. This is a widely accepted fact in pediatric health. Breastfeeding provides essential nutrients and antibodies that are crucial for the infant's development. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason given is that breastfeeding develops deep affection between the offspring and the mother. While emotional bonding is a positive outcome of breastfeeding, it is not the primary reason why breastfeeding is recommended. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: The assertion is indeed true. Mother's milk, especially colostrum, is rich in antibodies (like IgA) that provide passive immunity to the infant, helping them fight infections. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: The reason provided is misleading. Although breastfeeding can foster a bond between mother and child, the primary benefit of breastfeeding is the nutritional and immunological support it provides to the infant. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. **Final Answer**: Assertion is true; Reason is false. ---
