The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Statements:** - The first statement discusses viruses being at a borderline between living and non-living. - The second statement defines phytoplanktons as aquatic living organisms. 2. **Analyzing the First Statement (Viruses):** - Viruses exhibit characteristics of both living and non-living entities. - They can reproduce only inside a host cell, which is a characteristic of living organisms. - However, outside a host, they do not exhibit any signs of life, which aligns with non-living entities. 3. **Analyzing the Second Statement (Phytoplanktons):** - Phytoplanktons are microscopic organisms found in aquatic environments, including freshwater and saltwater. - They can be classified as bacteria, protists, or single-celled plants, all of which are living organisms. 4. **Evaluating the Relationship Between the Two Statements:** - While both statements are correct, they do not explain or relate to each other. - The nature of viruses does not provide any explanation for the characteristics of phytoplanktons, and vice versa. 5. **Reviewing the Options:** - Option A: Both statements are correct, and R explains A. (Incorrect, as R does not explain A) - Option B: Both statements are correct, but R does not explain A. (Correct) - Option C: A is correct, and R is wrong. (Incorrect, as R is correct) - Option D: Both A and R are wrong. (Incorrect, as both are correct) 6. **Conclusion:** - The correct answer is Option B: Both A and R are correct, but R is not a correct explanation of A. ---
