The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Cyanobacterial cells are eukaryotic." - Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are actually classified as prokaryotic organisms. They lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, which are characteristic features of eukaryotic cells. Therefore, this assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Prokaryotic cells are diploid." - Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, typically have a single circular chromosome and are usually **haploid** (having one set of chromosomes). They do not possess a diploid state like eukaryotic cells. Thus, this reason is also **false**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Now we need to determine the relationship between the assertion and the reason: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct option would be that both are incorrect. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The correct answer is **D: Both assertion and reason are incorrect**. ---
