The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that the skeleton serves as a storage depot. This is true, as bones do play a role in storing certain minerals. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided states that the skeleton stores carbohydrates and proteins. This is false. The skeleton primarily stores minerals, not carbohydrates and proteins. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: The assertion is true, but the reason is false. The skeleton does serve as a storage depot, but it does not store carbohydrates and proteins; instead, it stores minerals like calcium and phosphorus. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the correct answer is that the assertion is true and the reason is false. **Final Answer**: Assertion is true; Reason is false. ---
