The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "Polyembryony phenomenon is more common in gymnosperms than angiosperms." - **Polyembryony** refers to the occurrence of multiple embryos developing from a single fertilized egg. - It is indeed true that polyembryony is more frequently observed in gymnosperms compared to angiosperms. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "In angiosperms, polyembryony is generally present as an unusual feature." - While polyembryony can occur in angiosperms, it is not as common and is often seen as an unusual occurrence. - This statement is also true, as polyembryony in angiosperms is relatively rare and typically occurs under specific conditions. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Relationship Now we need to determine if the reason (R) justifies the assertion (A). - Since the assertion is that polyembryony is more common in gymnosperms, and the reason explains that in angiosperms, it is an unusual feature, the reason does support the assertion. - The rarity of polyembryony in angiosperms compared to gymnosperms helps to justify the assertion. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a valid explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, and the reason supports the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and R justifies A. ---
