The assertion states that plants have evolved various morphological and chemical defences against herbivores, which is true as discussed in the given text. The reason states that the problem is particularly severe for plants because, unlike animals, they cannot run away from their predators, which is also true. When taken together, the reason justifies the assertion. If plants didn't have any means of defence against herbivores, they would have become extinct. Therefore, it can be concluded that both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for the Assertion.

Option a is the correct answer.
