The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate the assertion and reason provided: **Assertion**: In humans, the temperature of the scrotum is 2-2.5°C lower than normal body temperature. **Reason**: Formation of sperm does not occur at normal core body temperature. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the temperature of the scrotum is lower than the normal body temperature. - Normal human body temperature is approximately 37°C, so the scrotum's temperature being 2-2.5°C lower means it is around 34.5-35°C. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is that sperm formation (spermatogenesis) does not occur at normal core body temperature. - This is true because sperm production requires a cooler environment than the core body temperature to be efficient. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Both Statements**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true. The scrotum's lower temperature is essential for the proper formation of sperm. 4. **Determining the Relationship**: - The reason explains why the assertion is true. The cooler temperature in the scrotum is necessary for sperm formation, which cannot happen effectively at the higher core body temperature. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion, the correct answer is (a): If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. ### Final Answer: (a) If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. ---
