The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "The nymph of Cockroach undergoes moulting several times." - This is true because the nymph stage of cockroaches, which is the juvenile form, undergoes multiple molts as it grows. Molting is essential for growth in insects. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided is "There is gradual metamorphosis in Cockroach." - The term "gradual metamorphosis" can be misleading. Cockroaches actually undergo incomplete metamorphosis, which is characterized by three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. The nymphs resemble smaller versions of the adults and undergo several molts. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: We need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - While both statements are true, the reason given does not accurately explain the assertion. The assertion is about the molting process in nymphs, while the reason incorrectly describes the type of metamorphosis. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation: - The assertion is true. - The reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion. - Therefore, we conclude that both statements are true, but the reason is not correctly explained. **Final Answer**: Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not correctly explained. ---
