The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Sex education in schools is not necessary." This implies that the speaker believes that teaching students about sex education is not important. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided is that "Sex education may increase certain myths and conceptions in the students." This suggests that the speaker believes that sex education could lead to misunderstandings or false beliefs among students. 3. **Evaluating the Assertion**: In reality, sex education is widely recognized as an essential part of education. It helps students understand their bodies, relationships, and the importance of consent and safe practices. Therefore, the assertion that sex education is not necessary is false. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: While it is true that misinformation can arise from poorly delivered sex education, the overall goal of sex education is to provide accurate information and dispel myths. Thus, the reason that sex education may increase myths is also false. 5. **Conclusion**: Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are false. **Final Answer**: Both assertion and reason are false. ---
