The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that Leydig's cells synthesize and secrete testicular hormones called androgens. - Leydig's cells are also known as interstitial cells and are responsible for producing testosterone, which is a type of androgen. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that Leydig's cells are located between Sertoli cells. - This is incorrect. Leydig's cells are located in the interstitial space adjacent to the seminiferous tubules, not between Sertoli cells. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: We need to determine if the assertion and reason are true or false. - The assertion is true because Leydig's cells do produce androgens like testosterone. - The reason is false because Leydig's cells are not located between Sertoli cells; they are found adjacent to the seminiferous tubules. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. 5. **Selecting the Correct Option**: Based on the analysis, the correct option is that the assertion is true and the reason is false.
