The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Bile is essential for the digestion of lipids." - This is true because bile plays a crucial role in the digestion of fats (lipids) by emulsifying them, which increases their surface area for enzyme action. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is "Bile juice contains enzymes bilirubin and biliverdin." - Here, we need to clarify that bilirubin and biliverdin are not enzymes; they are pigments found in bile. Bile does contain bile salts, which are important for emulsification, but bilirubin and biliverdin do not have enzymatic activity. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - The assertion is true, but the reason is misleading because it incorrectly identifies bilirubin and biliverdin as enzymes. Therefore, while both statements are true in their own right, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct option is that the assertion is true, the reason is false, and the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: - Assertion is true, Reason is false. ---
