Assertion: Fruits are formed from the ovary of the flower.
Reason: The ovary contains the ovules that develop into seeds after fertilization.
Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
The assertion is false, but the reason is true.
The assertion states that fruits are formed from the ovary of the flower, which is true. The ovary is the part of the female reproductive organ in a flower that contains the ovules.
The reason provided states that the ovary contains the ovules that develop into seeds after fertilization. While this reason is also true, it does not directly explain why fruits are formed from the ovary. The ovary develops into a fruit regardless of whether fertilization occurs or not. In some cases, even without fertilization, the ovary can still develop into a fruit without forming viable seeds, a phenomenon known as parthenocarpy.
Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not provide the correct explanation for the assertion. The correct option is Option 2.
