The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that ecological succession can transform a lake into a dryland forest over time. This is true as ecological succession involves a series of progressive changes in an ecosystem, leading to a climax community, which can be a forest. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided is that a bare rock can become a forest through ecological succession. This is also true. In ecological succession, bare rock can undergo a series of stages starting from lichens, then mosses, followed by grasses, shrubs, and eventually leading to a forest. 3. **Analyzing the Connection**: While both the assertion and reason are true statements, they are not directly related to each other. The assertion discusses the transformation of a lake into a forest, while the reason discusses the succession from bare rock to forest. They describe different types of ecological succession (hydrosere for lakes and lithosere for bare rocks). 4. **Conclusion**: Since both statements are true but the reason does not explain the assertion, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. **Final Answer**: Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
