The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "Vegetable oils are fats which are present in plant cells in soluble form." - This statement is incorrect. Vegetable oils are indeed fats, but they are generally found in an insoluble form in plant cells. They are stored as triglycerides in oil bodies (or lipid bodies) within the cells. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "Vegetable oils occur only in cells of the embryo." - This statement is also incorrect. While some vegetable oils are found in the embryo of seeds, they can also be found in other parts of the plant, such as seeds, fruits, roots, stems, and leaves. Therefore, the assertion that vegetable oils occur only in the cells of the embryo is false. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false. ---
