The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Panthera is a polytypic genus." - A polytypic genus is defined as a genus that contains multiple species. 2. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason provided is that "Panthera has specific epithets like leo, tigris, pardus." - Specific epithets are the second part of the scientific name of a species, which, when combined with the genus name, form the full scientific name. 3. **Identifying the Genus and Species**: - The genus "Panthera" includes several species: - Panthera leo (Lion) - Panthera tigris (Tiger) - Panthera pardus (Leopard) - Each of these species has a specific epithet (leo, tigris, pardus). 4. **Conclusion**: - Since Panthera contains more than one species, it is indeed a polytypic genus. - The reason correctly explains the assertion, as the specific epithets mentioned are part of the species within the genus Panthera. 5. **Final Answer**: - Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
