The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that the biological concept of species is based on reproductive isolation. - This means that species are defined by their ability to interbreed and produce viable offspring, while being reproductively isolated from other species. 2. **Analyzing the Biological Species Concept**: - The biological species concept emphasizes that members of the same species can mate and produce fertile offspring, while members of different species cannot. - This concept is widely accepted in biology and supports the idea of reproductive isolation as a key factor in defining species. 3. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that the most accepted species concept was given by Linnaeus. - However, this statement is incorrect. The biological species concept was primarily developed by Ernst Mayr, not Linnaeus. 4. **Evaluating the Truth of the Statements**: - The assertion (A) is true because it accurately describes the biological concept of species based on reproductive isolation. - The reason (R) is false because it incorrectly attributes the concept to Linnaeus instead of Ernst Mayr. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer to the question is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - Assertion (A) is true, and Reason (R) is false. ---
