Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Kinetin is classified as an adenine derivative. Reason (R): Kinetin is chemically N6-furfurylamino pyrimidine. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  2. BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  3. CAssertion is true but Reason is false.
  4. DAssertion is false but Reason is true.

Correct answer

C. Assertion is true but Reason is false.

Step-by-step solution

Assertion (A) is true because kinetin is a plant growth regulator classified as an adenine derivative. Reason (R) is false because kinetin is chemically N6-furfurylamino purine, not a pyrimidine. Adenine itself is a purine base. Therefore, the Assertion is true but the Reason is false. Answer: Assertion is true but Reason is false.
