AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion and Reason:** - The assertion states that recombinant therapeutics do not induce unwanted immunological responses. - The reason states that about 30 recombinant therapeutics have been approved for human use worldwide. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion:** - The assertion is true. Recombinant therapeutics, which are produced using recombinant DNA technology, are designed to be safe and effective. They are less likely to provoke an immune response compared to proteins derived from non-human sources. 3. **Evaluating the Reason:** - The reason is also true. As of now, approximately 30 recombinant therapeutics have indeed been approved for human use globally. This includes various therapeutic proteins that have been developed through recombinant DNA technology. 4. **Connecting Assertion and Reason:** - The reason provided supports the assertion. The approval of these therapeutics indicates their safety and efficacy, which aligns with the assertion that they do not induce unwanted immunological responses. 5. **Conclusion:** - Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. **Final Answer:** Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
