Diaphragms are indeed made of rubber or silicone and are used to cover the cervical region in females to prevent pregnancy. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship between Assertion and Reason - Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, we conclude that the assertion does not support the reason. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Assertion (A) is false. - Reason (R) is true. Thus, the correct answer is that A is false but R is true. ### Final Answer The answer is: Option D - A is false but R is true. ---
