The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason related to the sea urchin's anatomy, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "ossicles around the mouth of Sea Urchin form Aristotle's Lantern." - **Explanation**: This is true. The structure known as Aristotle's Lantern is indeed formed by ossicles, which are small calcareous plates that make up the mouthparts of sea urchins. It is a complex chewing mechanism that allows the sea urchin to feed. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "teeth of Aristotle's Lantern are analogous to human teeth as both are masticatory." - **Explanation**: This statement is also true. The teeth of Aristotle's Lantern serve a similar function to human teeth, as both are involved in the process of mastication (chewing). However, they are not structurally or evolutionarily related. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - While both statements are true, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. The assertion is about the structure and function of Aristotle's Lantern, while the reason compares it to human teeth, which, although similar in function, do not provide a direct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer is: "Both are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion." ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
