The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the statement. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "inability to conceive or produce children even after 2 years of unprotected sexual cohabitation is infertility." - This definition is accurate. Infertility is indeed defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular unprotected intercourse, but in some definitions, this period can extend to two years, especially in the context of certain medical evaluations. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "infertility is a synonym for sterility." - While both terms relate to the inability to conceive, they are not strictly synonymous. Infertility can sometimes be treated or resolved, while sterility refers to a complete inability to conceive, often due to medical or biological reasons. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Each Statement**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true statements individually. - However, the reason does not accurately explain the assertion. Infertility encompasses a broader range of conditions and potential treatments, while sterility implies a more permanent condition. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements are true but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion, the correct answer is: - **Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.** ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.** ---
