The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given question, we will break it down into its components: the assertion and the reason. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Inhibin is secreted by the corpus luteum." - The corpus luteum is a structure formed from the follicle after ovulation and is responsible for producing hormones, including inhibin. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - The statement is **true** because the corpus luteum does secrete inhibin, which plays a role in the reproductive cycle. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "They inhibit the FSH and GnRH production." - Inhibin primarily functions to inhibit the secretion of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary gland. It does not directly inhibit Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) production. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The statement is **partially true**. While inhibin does inhibit FSH, it does not directly inhibit GnRH production. Therefore, the reason provided does not accurately explain the assertion. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, we 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." ### Final Answer: The correct option is **2**. ---
