The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** The assertion states that "Nowadays, there are less childless couples." This implies that the number of couples who are unable to have children has decreased over time. 2. **Understanding the Reason:** The reason provided is "A number of measures are now available by which even infertile couples can have a child." This suggests that advancements in reproductive technology and medical interventions have made it possible for couples who were previously infertile to conceive. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship:** To determine the validity of the assertion and reason, we need to analyze whether the reason logically supports the assertion. The reason indicates that there are various medical techniques (like IVF, IUI, ICSI, etc.) that help infertile couples conceive, which directly correlates with the assertion that there are fewer childless couples. 4. **Conclusion:** Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. The advancements in reproductive health have indeed contributed to a decrease in the number of childless couples. 5. **Final Answer:** Therefore, the correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.** ---
