The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "One of the major crops that originated in the new world is wheat." - To evaluate this, we need to clarify the terms "new world" and "old world." The new world refers to the Americas, while the old world refers to Europe, Asia, and Africa. 2. **Identifying the Origin of Wheat**: - Wheat is not a crop that originated in the new world; it is actually one of the major crops that originated in the old world. - Major crops from the new world include maize, potatoes, and tomatoes, whereas wheat is associated with the old world. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Wheat is cultivated on a large scale in Central Asia." - To analyze this, we need to look at the primary producers of wheat globally. 4. **Identifying the Primary Producers of Wheat**: - The largest producer of wheat is China, which is located in East Asia, not Central Asia. - Other significant producers include India and the United States, but Central Asia is not known for large-scale wheat production. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are false. The assertion incorrectly states the origin of wheat, and the reason inaccurately identifies the primary region for wheat cultivation. - Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are false. ---
