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 all birds, except for some like the koel (cuckoo), build nests for resting during the night (or day for nocturnal birds). - This statement is generally true as most birds do build nests for resting and raising their young. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that the koel lays its eggs in the nests of the tailor bird. - This statement is incorrect. Koels are known to be brood parasites, primarily laying their eggs in the nests of crows, not tailor birds. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. The koel does not lay its eggs in the nests of tailor birds, which makes the reason statement incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that only the assertion is true. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is that only the assertion statement is true.
