The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we can break down the problem step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Multipolar neurons have several efferent processes." - A multipolar neuron is characterized by having one axon and multiple dendrites. The axon transmits impulses away from the neuron, while dendrites receive signals. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - Efferent processes refer to the axons that carry signals away from the neuron to other neurons or muscles. In multipolar neurons, there is typically one axon, not several. Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect**. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Axons are the afferent processes of a neuron." - Afferent processes are those that carry signals toward the neuron, typically associated with dendrites. Axons, on the other hand, are responsible for carrying signals away from the neuron. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - Since axons carry impulses away from the neuron, they are classified as efferent processes, not afferent. Thus, the reason is also **incorrect**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ---
