The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about the pelvic girdle and the pubic symphysis, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "The two halves of the pelvic girdle meet ventrally to form the pubic symphysis." - The pelvic girdle is composed of two hip bones (the ilium, ischium, and pubis), which indeed meet at the front (ventrally) to form the pubic symphysis. - Therefore, this assertion is **true**. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Pubic symphysis consists of immovable fibrous connective tissue." - The pubic symphysis is actually a type of joint known as a secondary cartilaginous joint, which allows for slight movement. It is not composed of immovable fibrous connective tissue; rather, it consists of fibrocartilage. - Therefore, this reason is **false**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
