The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Glyoxisome, sphaerosome, lysosome are surrounded by single membrane." - **Glyoxisomes** are indeed specialized peroxisomes found in plants, particularly in fat storage tissues of germinating seeds. They are surrounded by a single membrane. - **Sphaerosomes** (also known as oleosomes) are small organelles involved in lipid storage and synthesis, and they too are surrounded by a single membrane. - **Lysosomes** are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes, and they are also surrounded by a single membrane. Thus, the assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Quantasome present in chloroplast." - **Quantasomes** are indeed found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and are involved in the process of photosynthesis. They are arranged in a para-crystalline array on the thylakoid disks. - However, the presence of quantasomes in chloroplasts does not relate to the assertion about glyoxysomes, sphaerosomes, and lysosomes being surrounded by a single membrane. Thus, the reason is **true**, but it does not explain the assertion. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.** ---
