The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided: ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Arachidic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid." - Arachidic acid is actually a saturated fatty acid, which means it contains only single bonds between carbon atoms. Therefore, this assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "There are present one or more double bonds between carbon atoms in unsaturated fatty acid." - This statement is true. Unsaturated fatty acids do indeed contain one or more double bonds between carbon atoms. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason - Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, we conclude that the reason does not provide a true explanation for the assertion. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and reason are evaluated as follows: - Assertion: False - Reason: True ### Final Answer The correct option is that the assertion is false, and the reason is true.
