AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that "Corpus albicans is an inactive structure which is found in the ovary." - This is true. The corpus albicans is indeed an inactive structure that forms in the ovary after the corpus luteum degenerates. 2. **Understanding the Reason:** - The reason states that "Corpus albicans secretes the progesterone hormone after ovulation." - This is false. The corpus albicans does not secrete progesterone; instead, it is the corpus luteum that secretes progesterone after ovulation. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship:** - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Selecting the Correct Option:** - Based on the evaluation, the correct option is: "Assertion is true but reason is false." **Final Answer:** The correct answer is option C: "Assertion is true but reason is false." ---
