The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that GM (Genetic Modification) techniques have been used to create tailor-made plants to supply alternative resources to industries. This means that through genetic engineering, plants can be modified to produce specific traits or substances that are beneficial for industrial use. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided explains that plants, bacteria, fungi, and animals whose genes have been altered through manipulation are referred to as GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). This definition clarifies what GMOs are, but it does not specifically address how the GM technique leads to the creation of tailor-made plants. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of the Statements**: - The assertion is true because GM techniques do indeed allow for the creation of plants with specific traits that can serve various industrial purposes, such as producing biofuels, pharmaceuticals, or other valuable materials. - The reason is also true because it accurately defines GMOs as organisms that have undergone genetic manipulation. 4. **Analyzing the Relationship**: While both the assertion and reason are true, the reason does not adequately explain the assertion. The assertion discusses the application of GM techniques in creating tailor-made plants, while the reason simply defines what GMOs are without explaining the process or implications of tailoring plants for specific uses. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not serve as a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
