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 the adult gametophyte is the conspicuous leafy green, photosynthetic plant popularly called moss. - In mosses, the gametophyte is indeed the dominant phase of the life cycle, and it is the part that is typically green and photosynthetic. This is true. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that mosses, like liverworts, do not exhibit alternation of generations. - However, this statement is incorrect. Mosses do exhibit alternation of generations, which means they have both a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage in their life cycle. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Assertion and Reason**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the assertion stands correct on its own, but the reason does not support it. 4. **Choosing the Correct Option**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. This corresponds to option 3. ### Final Answer: The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. ---
