AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that flowers can be emasculated using the suction pressure method. Emasculation is the process of removing the male parts (anthers) of a flower to prevent self-pollination. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided is that emasculation increases the chances of self-pollination. This statement is misleading because the purpose of emasculation is actually to prevent self-pollination. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: The assertion is true. The suction pressure method can indeed be used to emasculate flowers. This method involves creating a vacuum that allows for the removal of anthers without damaging the flower. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: The reason is false. Emasculation is performed to reduce the chances of self-pollination, not to increase them. By removing the male parts, the flower cannot fertilize itself and must rely on cross-pollination. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct option to choose is the one that states: "The assertion is true and the reason is false." **Final Answer**: The correct option is that the assertion is true and the reason is false. ---
