AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Lymphocytes are the largest corpuscles." To evaluate this, we need to know the sizes of different types of white blood cells (leukocytes). 2. **Comparing Sizes of White Blood Cells**: Lymphocytes typically range in size from about 7 to 16 micrometers. In comparison, monocytes, which are another type of white blood cell, are larger, measuring about 15 to 20 micrometers. Therefore, lymphocytes are not the largest corpuscles. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason given is that "the nucleus of lymphocyte is large and kidney-shaped." We need to examine the structure of lymphocytes to determine the accuracy of this statement. 4. **Analyzing the Nucleus of Lymphocytes**: The nucleus of a lymphocyte is actually small and typically spherical, not large and kidney-shaped. This contradicts the reason provided. 5. **Conclusion**: Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we conclude that the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are false. **Final Answer**: Both assertion and reason are false. ---
