The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Prothrombinase enzymes convert prothrombin into active thrombin." - This statement is **true**. Prothrombinase is an enzyme complex that catalyzes the conversion of prothrombin (an inactive precursor) into thrombin (the active form). 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Thromboplastin reacts with plasma protein in the presence of Ca²⁺ ions to form prothrombinase." - This statement is also **true**. Thromboplastin (also known as tissue factor) interacts with plasma proteins and calcium ions to form the prothrombinase complex necessary for the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Although both the assertion and reason are true, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - The assertion is about the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, while the reason describes the formation of prothrombinase. The reason does not directly explain why prothrombin is converted to thrombin; rather, it explains how prothrombinase is formed. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements are true, but the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion, the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
