The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that "Genetic variability is the root of any breeding programme." This means that for any breeding program to be successful, there must be a diverse genetic pool from which to select desirable traits. 2. **Understanding the Reason:** - The reason provided is that "The entire collection of plants and seeds having diverse alleles for all genes in a given crop is called germplasm collection." Germplasm collection is crucial as it represents the genetic diversity necessary for breeding programs. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason:** - The assertion and reason are interconnected. Genetic variability (assertion) is obtained from germplasm collection (reason). Without a diverse germplasm, there would be limited genetic variability to work with in breeding programs. 4. **Conclusion:** - Both the assertion and the reason are true. The reason correctly explains why genetic variability is essential for breeding programs, as it provides the necessary genetic material to select and create new plant varieties. **Final Answer:** Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ---
