The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Lactational amenorrhea is due to a high level of prolactin." - Lactational amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation during breastfeeding. This occurs because the body produces high levels of the hormone prolactin when a mother breastfeeds, which inhibits ovulation. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that "Prolactin stimulates the release of gonadotropins." - Gonadotropins are hormones that stimulate the gonads (ovaries in females) to produce sex hormones and trigger ovulation. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - High levels of prolactin during lactation actually inhibit the release of gonadotropins. This means that while prolactin is high, the levels of gonadotropins decrease, preventing ovulation. 4. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is true because lactational amenorrhea is indeed due to high levels of prolactin. However, the reason is false because prolactin does not stimulate the release of gonadotropins; instead, it inhibits their release. 5. **Final Answer**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false. ---
