The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Egg of eutherian is multicellular." - Eutherians, also known as placental mammals, have eggs that are not multicellular. Instead, the egg (or ovum) is a single cell, which is the largest cell in the female body. Therefore, this assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "Many follicular cells are attached with the surface of the egg." - While it is true that the ovum is surrounded by follicular cells (which form the structure known as the cumulus oophorus), these cells do not make the egg itself multicellular. The egg remains a single cell, and the follicular cells are part of the ovarian structure. Thus, this reason is also **false**. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we conclude that the statement is incorrect. The egg of a eutherian is not multicellular, and the presence of follicular cells does not change the fact that the egg itself is a single cell. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
