AIIMS 2019 Zoology Acraniata Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: Acraniata is a group of organisms which do not have distinct cranium. Reason: It includes small marine forms without head.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option B is correct because the assertion accurately describes Acraniata as organisms lacking a distinct cranium, while the reason correctly identifies that this group includes small marine forms without a head. However, the reason does not serve as a direct explanation for the assertion, as the absence of a cranium does not inherently imply the absence of a head in all contexts.
Option A is incorrect because, although both statements are true, the reason does not explain the assertion. Option C is incorrect since the assertion is true and the reason is also true, making it impossible for the reason to be false. Option D is incorrect because both the assertion and reason are indeed true.
