The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Parthenogenesis**: - Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction where an egg develops into an organism without fertilization. This process primarily involves the female gamete. 2. **Types of Parthenogenesis**: - Parthenogenesis can be categorized into two main types: - **Natural Parthenogenesis**: This occurs naturally in certain species. - **Artificial Parthenogenesis**: This is induced by human intervention. 3. **Complete vs. Incomplete Parthenogenesis**: - Natural Parthenogenesis is further divided into: - **Complete (Obligatory) Parthenogenesis**: In this type, certain organisms reproduce exclusively through parthenogenesis, without any sexual phase or male involvement. - **Incomplete Parthenogenesis**: This involves a mix of sexual and asexual reproduction. 4. **Assertion Analysis**: - The assertion states that "Complete parthenogenesis is also called obligatory parthenogenesis." This is true because organisms that reproduce solely through this method do not engage in sexual reproduction. 5. **Reason Analysis**: - The reason states that "It occurs in animals which breed exclusively by this method." This is also true as complete parthenogenesis is observed in species that do not have a male counterpart or a sexual phase. 6. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason accurately explains the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
