The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that some nations are developing laws to prevent unauthorized exploitation of their bioresources and traditional knowledge. - This is true because many countries are recognizing the importance of protecting their biological resources and the knowledge associated with them from exploitation by foreign entities. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason mentions that Brazzein, a protein obtained from a West African plant, was isolated, sequenced, and patented in the USA. - This is also true as Brazzein is a sweet protein derived from the plant *Oubli*, which is native to West Africa. The USA's action of patenting it without compensating the source country is an example of biopiracy. 3. **Connecting the Assertion and Reason**: - Both statements are true and relate to the concept of biopiracy, where resources from one country are exploited without permission or compensation. - However, the reason provided does not directly explain the assertion. The assertion discusses the need for laws to protect bioresources, while the reason provides a specific example of biopiracy. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true but the reason does not explain the assertion, the correct answer is that both are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Passage-II: Consider a block conducting material of resistivity . rho . shown in the figure. Current .I. enters at .A. and leaves from .D.. We apply superposition principle to find voltage . DeltaV . developed between .B. and .C.. The calculation is done in the following steps : i) Take current .I. entering from .A. and assume it to spread over a hemispherical surface in the block. ii) Calculate field E(r ) at distance .r. from A by using Ohm.s law E= rhoj , where j is the current per unit area at .r.. iii) From the .r. dependence of E(r ), obtain the potential V(r ) at r. iv) Repeat (i), (ii), (iii) for current .I. leaving .D. and superpose results for .A. and .D.. For current entering at A the electric field at a distance .r. from A is
