The assertion that assimilation is the process of absorbing nutrients into the body from food, while egestion is the elimination of waste products from the body, is true. Assimilation is the process by which the body absorbs nutrients, such as glucose and amino acids, from food and uses them to build and repair tissues, produce energy, and perform other functions. Egestion, on the other hand, is the process by which the body eliminates waste products, such as undigested food, bacteria, and dead cells, from the digestive tract.

The reason that the digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the body, while the waste products that cannot be used are eliminated, is also true and provides the correct explanation for the assertion. The digestive system breaks down food through mechanical and chemical digestion, which reduces it to smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by the body. The nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to cells throughout the body. Waste products, such as undigested food, are eliminated from the body through the process of egestion.

Therefore,  Both Assertion and Reason are the and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
