The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Bacteria come under prokaryotes." - **Explanation**: Prokaryotes are organisms that do not have a membrane-bound nucleus. Bacteria are classified as prokaryotes because they fit this definition. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that "They lack a well-defined nucleus." - **Explanation**: Bacteria indeed lack a well-defined nucleus. Instead of having a nucleus that is enclosed by a membrane, their genetic material is found in a region called the nucleoid, which is not membrane-bound. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: Both the assertion and reason are correct statements about bacteria. - **Explanation**: Since bacteria are classified as prokaryotes due to their lack of a well-defined nucleus, both statements are true. 4. **Evaluating the Explanation**: While both the assertion and reason are correct, the reason does not fully explain why bacteria are classified as prokaryotes. - **Explanation**: The reason is true, but it does not provide a comprehensive explanation of the classification of bacteria as prokaryotes. Therefore, while both statements are correct, the reason does not adequately explain the assertion. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct option would be that both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion (A) and reason (R) are correct, but R does not explain A. ---
