The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Evaluate the Assertion The assertion states: "Small intestine is the principal organ for absorption of nutrients." - The small intestine, which includes the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, is indeed the primary site for nutrient absorption in the human body. It has specialized structures called villi that increase the surface area for absorption, making this statement true. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason The reason states: "Absorption of water, simple sugar, and alcohol takes place in the small intestine." - This statement is also true. The small intestine does absorb water, simple sugars (like glucose), and alcohol. However, this reason does not explain why the small intestine is the principal organ for nutrient absorption. The assertion focuses on the overall role of the small intestine, while the reason specifies certain substances absorbed. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship - Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. Therefore, we conclude that the correct answer is that both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer The correct option is (B): Both are true but the reason is not the correct explanation. ---
