The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that "Cyclosporin A is an antifungal and immunosuppressive medicine." - Cyclosporin A is indeed derived from the fungus Trichoderma polyspora and is primarily known for its immunosuppressive properties, especially in organ transplantation to prevent graft rejection. 2. **Evaluating the Reason:** - The reason given is that "It stimulates the activation of T-cells and prevents rejections." - However, the role of Cyclosporin A is to inhibit T-cell activation, not stimulate it. It works by suppressing the immune response, particularly by inhibiting the synthesis of interleukin-2, which is crucial for T-cell proliferation. 3. **Conclusion on Truthfulness:** - Since the assertion is true (Cyclosporin A is an antifungal and immunosuppressive medicine) but the reason is false (it does not stimulate T-cell activation), we conclude that the assertion is correct while the reason is incorrect. 4. **Final Answer:** - The correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false.
