AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that peroxisomes are called "suicidal bags." To evaluate this, we need to know what peroxisomes are and their functions. 2. **Identifying the Correct Term**: The term "suicidal bags" is commonly associated with lysosomes, not peroxisomes. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris. When lysosomes burst, they release these enzymes, leading to the digestion of cellular components, hence the term "suicidal bags." 3. **Evaluating the Reason**: The reason provided states that peroxisomes have acid hydrolytic enzymes. This is incorrect. While peroxisomes do contain enzymes, they are primarily involved in the oxidation of fatty acids and the detoxification of harmful substances, rather than containing acid hydrolytic enzymes like lysosomes. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the assertion is incorrect (peroxisomes are not called suicidal bags) and the reason is also incorrect (peroxisomes do not have acid hydrolytic enzymes), we conclude that both the assertion and the reason are false. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct option is D: Both assertion and reason are false. ---
