Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

C

Assertion is true but Reason is false

D

Both Assertion and Reason are false

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The correct answer is B because both the assertion and the reason are true; Chlamydomonas does produce zoospores at night under favorable conditions, and these zoospores swim and develop into new plants. However, the reason provided does not directly explain why zoospores are formed specifically at night, as their formation is influenced by environmental factors rather than just their swimming and growth behavior.
