Assertion: An autoimmune condition that affects the digestive system is celiac disease.
Reason: Gluten, a protein included in wheat, rye, and barley, triggers an immunological reaction in people with celiac disease.
Assertion and reason are both true, and reason is an accurate account of assertion.
Both assertion and reason are accurate, but reason does not adequately explain assertion.
The assertion is correct, but the reasoning is incorrect.
Both the assertion and reason are incorrect.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the small intestine when gluten is consumed, causing damage to the lining of the intestine and impairing its ability to absorb nutrients. The reason for celiac disease is a valid explanation as the immune system recognizes gluten as a foreign substance and initiates an immune response, leading to the characteristic symptoms of the disease. Therefore, the assertion is true and the reason is a valid explanation for it.
Option a is the correct answer.
