The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, let's break it down step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Heroin is a CNS depressant." - CNS stands for Central Nervous System. A CNS depressant is a substance that reduces the activity of the brain and spinal cord, leading to effects such as sedation, relaxation, and decreased anxiety. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: - Heroin is indeed classified as a CNS depressant. It is an opioid that acts on the brain to produce feelings of euphoria and pain relief, but it also slows down brain activity. - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Heroin causes depression." - While heroin can lead to feelings of sadness or depression in some users, it is primarily known for its pain-relieving and euphoric effects. The term "depression" here can be misleading. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The term "depression" in this context does not accurately describe the pharmacological effects of heroin. Instead, heroin can lead to a state of euphoria and is often used to alleviate pain. - Thus, the reason is **false**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - Assertion is true, Reason is false. ---
