The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that the flower of Rafflesia is the largest in size. - This is true as Rafflesia arnoldii, known for its large bloom, can grow up to three feet in diameter and weigh around 15 pounds. 2. **Understanding the Reason:** - The reason provided states that large flowers have wind pollination. - This is incorrect. Typically, wind-pollinated plants have small flowers that are not showy, as they rely on wind to transfer pollen rather than attracting pollinators. 3. **Analyzing the Pollination of Rafflesia:** - Rafflesia flowers are not wind-pollinated. They are pollinated by specific insects, particularly carrion flies, which are attracted to the flower's odor that resembles rotting flesh. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer to the question is that the assertion is true, but the reason is incorrect. **Final Answer:** - The assertion is true, and the reason is false. Therefore, the correct option is option number three. ---
