The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "Cheese is one of the oldest food items in which microbes are used." - This statement is true. Cheese-making has been practiced for thousands of years, and it involves the use of microbes (bacteria, yeasts, and molds) to ferment milk and develop the cheese. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Different varieties of cheese are known by their characteristic texture, flavour and taste, the specificity coming from the microbes used." - This statement is also true. Different types of cheese have unique textures, flavors, and tastes, which are influenced by the specific microbes used in their production. For example, the presence of certain bacteria can lead to the formation of holes in Swiss cheese. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - While both statements are true, the reason does not serve as a direct explanation for why cheese is considered one of the oldest food items. The assertion focuses on the historical aspect of cheese production, while the reason discusses the diversity of cheese characteristics due to microbial influence. ### Conclusion Since both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, we can conclude that the correct answer is: **Option 2**: If both Assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
