The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about exoskeletons and endoskeletons, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "The skeleton which occurs on the surface of the animal body is called exoskeleton." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. The exoskeleton is indeed the outer skeleton that provides support and protection to the soft tissues of certain animals. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "Endoskeleton is formed of bones." - **Analysis**: This statement is partially true. While the endoskeleton is primarily composed of bones, it also includes cartilage. Therefore, saying it is formed solely of bones is not entirely accurate. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason - The assertion is true, and the reason is partially true but incomplete because it does not mention cartilage, which is also a component of the endoskeleton. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is correct. - The reason is incorrect because it does not provide a complete explanation of what an endoskeleton is. Thus, the correct answer is: **The assertion is correct, but the reason is wrong.** ---
