The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in the majority of angiosperms, a typical anther is bilobed. - Angiosperms are flowering plants, and their anthers are indeed typically bilobed, meaning they have two distinct lobes. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided states that each lobe has two theca. - This is also accurate, as each lobe of the anther contains two thecae (singular: theca), which are the chambers where pollen grains are produced. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion and reason are related. The bilobed structure of the anther allows for the presence of two thecae in each lobe, which aids in the production of pollen grains. - Therefore, the reason explains why the assertion is true. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Thus, the correct answer is that both statements are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is **Option A**: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
