B

Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A

C

A is true but R is false

D

A and R are false

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The assertion is true because kidney transplants from non-matching donors are often rejected by the recipient's immune system due to the presence of foreign antigens. However, the reason provided is incorrect; while B-lymphocytes are involved in the immune response, the primary mechanism of rejection in this context is mediated by T-lymphocytes (cell-mediated immunity), not B-lymphocytes, which are primarily responsible for antibody production. Therefore, both statements are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion.
