The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Dicot roots are mostly tetrach." - In botanical terms, "tetrach" refers to having four vascular bundles. However, dicot roots can have a variety of arrangements, including diarch (two bundles), triarch (three bundles), and polyarch (more than four bundles). Therefore, stating that dicot roots are "mostly tetrach" is misleading and incorrect. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided states that "There occur four phloem bundles forming rays." - This statement is also incorrect because while some plants may have multiple phloem bundles, it is not a defining characteristic of all dicot roots. The arrangement of vascular bundles can vary widely among different species of dicots. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we can conclude that the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false.
