The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the Assertion and the Reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The Assertion states that "GEAC will make decisions regarding the validity of GM research and the safety of introducing GM organisms for public services." - GEAC stands for Genetic Engineering Approval Committee, which is responsible for evaluating and approving GM research and organisms before they can be released into the environment. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The Reason states that "Genetic modification of organisms can have unpredictable results when such organisms are introduced into the ecosystem." - This implies that genetic modifications can lead to unforeseen consequences, which is a valid concern when considering the release of GM organisms into the environment. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Truth of Both Statements - Both the Assertion and the Reason are true. GEAC does indeed make decisions regarding GM organisms, and genetic modifications can lead to unpredictable outcomes. ### Step 4: Determine the Relationship Between the Assertion and the Reason - The Reason explains why the GEAC is necessary and why it is important to evaluate the safety of GM organisms before they are introduced into the ecosystem. Therefore, the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. ### 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.** ---
