The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Evaluate the Assertion The assertion states: "Sequoia is the longest tree among Gymnosperms." - Sequoia, specifically the Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), is indeed known to be one of the tallest trees in the world and is classified as a gymnosperm. - Therefore, this assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason The reason states: "All members of Lycopsida are homosporous." - Lycopsida is a class of plants that includes clubmosses and their relatives. - In reality, members of Lycopsida can be either homosporous (producing one type of spore) or heterosporous (producing two types of spores). - Therefore, this statement is **false**. ### Step 3: Conclusion Now that we have evaluated both the assertion and the reason: - The assertion is true, while the reason is false. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Assertion is true but reason is false.** ---
