The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given question, we will break it down into two parts: the Assertion and the Reason. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in head inflorescence, florets are arranged centrifugally. - In botanical terms, "centrifugally" means that the florets are arranged outward from the center. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - In head inflorescence (also known as capitulum), the florets are actually arranged centripetally, meaning they are arranged inward towards the center. - Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect**. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that there are always two types of florets in head inflorescence. - In head inflorescence, typically, there are two types of florets: ray florets (which are usually found on the outer edge) and disk florets (which are found in the center). 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - This statement is **correct** as it accurately describes the presence of two types of florets in head inflorescence. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is incorrect and the reason is correct, we can conclude that the relationship between the two statements does not hold. - Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is false, but the reason is true. ### Final Answer: The assertion is incorrect, and the reason is correct.
