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, "Parturition is the process of giving birth to the young." - This statement is true. Parturition indeed refers to the act of delivering a baby from the uterus. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states, "Relaxin is an ovarian hormone that is responsible for the loosening of the pubic symphysis at the time of parturition." - This statement is partially true. Relaxin is indeed an ovarian hormone that helps in the preparation for parturition by loosening the ligaments of the pelvis, but it does not specifically target the pubic symphysis. Instead, it primarily affects the pelvic ligaments to facilitate the widening of the cervix, which aids in childbirth. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - While both statements are true, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. The assertion is about the process of giving birth, while the reason incorrectly specifies the action of relaxin on the pubic symphysis. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is (c): Assertion is true but Reason is false. ### Final Answer: (c) Assertion is true but Reason is false. ---
