The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statement and reason, let's break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Statement The statement is that "marine fishes have aglomerular kidneys." - **Explanation**: Marine fishes live in a salty environment and have adapted to conserve water. Aglomerular kidneys are specialized kidneys that lack glomeruli, which are the structures typically involved in filtering blood and forming urine. ### Step 2: Evaluate the Reason The reason provided is "Aglomerular kidneys increase the loss of water through urine." - **Explanation**: This statement is incorrect. Aglomerular kidneys are designed to conserve water, not increase its loss. They do this by producing very concentrated urine, which minimizes water loss. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Statement and Reason Now, we need to determine if both the statement and reason are correct and if the reason correctly explains the statement. - The statement is correct (marine fishes do have aglomerular kidneys). - The reason is incorrect (aglomerular kidneys do not increase water loss; they help conserve water). ### Step 4: Choose the Correct Option Given the evaluations: - Option 1: Both statement and reason are correct, and reason is not a correct explanation of the statement. (Incorrect) - Option 2: Both statement and reason are correct, and reason is a correct explanation of the statement. (Incorrect) - Option 3: Statement is wrong, but reason is correct. (Incorrect) - Option 4: Statement is correct, but reason is wrong. (Correct) Thus, the correct answer is **Option 4**: The statement is correct, but the reason is wrong. ---
