The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we need to evaluate both statements carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Herbaria cannot serve as a quick reference system in taxonomical studies." - To evaluate this, we need to know what a herbarium is. A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens that are used for scientific study and reference. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - Herbaria are indeed used as taxonomical aids. They contain dried and pressed specimens of plants along with descriptions, which can help in identifying and classifying plants. - Therefore, the assertion is **false** because herbaria can serve as a quick reference in taxonomical studies. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Herbaria do not help in identification and classification." - This statement needs to be evaluated in the context of what herbaria are used for. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - Herbaria are specifically designed to help in the identification and classification of plants. The specimens and their descriptions allow researchers to compare and identify various plant species. - Hence, the reason is also **false** because herbaria do indeed help in identification and classification. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer is that both statements are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false.
