The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that tapeworm, roundworm, and pinworm are endoparasites of the human intestine. - This is true as all three types of worms are known to inhabit the intestines of humans and can cause various health issues. 2. **Understanding the Reason:** - The reason provided is that improperly cooked food is the source of all intestinal infections. - While it is true that improperly cooked food can lead to certain intestinal infections, it is not the sole source of all intestinal infections. Other factors such as contaminated water, poor hygiene, and direct contact with infected individuals can also contribute to intestinal infections. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship:** - Both the assertion and reason are true statements. However, the reason does not serve as a correct explanation for the assertion. The assertion stands independently as a fact about the nature of these parasites, while the reason is too broad and not entirely accurate. 4. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. **Final Answer:** Both are true, but reason is not the correct explanation. ---
