Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Alpha taxonomy is the level at which the species are characterized and named. In this type of taxonomy, the basis for classification of plants depends upon their morphological categories.
Omega taxonomy is the synthetic approach to taxonomic studies. This system of classification and naming is based on all available characters including external morphological features.
Assertion is correct but reason is not. So, the correct option is C.
