The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding Aristotle being known as the father of biology, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the statement. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Aristotle is known as the father of biology because he was the first person to coin the term biology." - We need to evaluate if this statement is true or false. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - While it is true that Aristotle is often referred to as the father of biology due to his contributions to the classification of living organisms, he did not coin the term "biology." - The term "biology" was actually coined by John Baptist Lamarck in the early 19th century. - Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect**. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Biology is that branch of science which deals with the study of living beings alone." - We need to check if this definition of biology is accurate. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - Biology is indeed the study of living organisms, but it also includes the study of their interactions with the abiotic (non-living) components of their environment. - Thus, the reason provided is also **incorrect**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, the correct answer to the question is that both A (assertion) and R (reason) are wrong. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ---
