The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "All types of cancer result in tumors." - Tumors are abnormal growths of tissue that can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). - While many cancers do result in tumors, not all types do. For instance, blood cancers such as leukemia do not form solid tumors but involve the proliferation of cancerous cells in the blood. 2. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason states that "Cancer is easily treatable with antibiotics." - Antibiotics are medications designed to treat bacterial infections and are not effective against cancer, which is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells. Therefore, this statement is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we conclude that the correct answer is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false.
