D. If both Assertion & Reason are false.

Answer

**Step-by-Step Solution:**

1. **Understanding the Assertion:**
- The assertion states that "Inflorescence in Compositae is capitulum."
- Inflorescence refers to the arrangement of flowers on a plant. In the case of the Compositae family (also known as Asteraceae), the inflorescence type is indeed called a capitulum.

2. **Understanding the Reason:**
- The reason states that "Compositae is capitulum."
- This implies that all inflorescences in the Compositae family are of the capitulum type. While this is generally true, it does not provide a direct explanation for the assertion.

3. **Analyzing the Correctness of the Assertion:**
- The assertion is correct because the inflorescence of the Compositae family is indeed a capitulum. This type of inflorescence is characterized by a flat, disc-like structure where multiple flowers are arranged closely together.

4. **Analyzing the Correctness of the Reason:**
- The reason is also correct in stating that the Compositae family has capitulum as its inflorescence type. However, it does not specifically support the assertion that "Inflorescence in Compositae is capitulum" because it is somewhat redundant.

5. **Conclusion:**
- Both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not adequately support the assertion. Therefore, the answer to the question is: Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not support the assertion.
