Reason (R): Sense organs act as transducers, transforming the stimulus energy.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Sense organs usually receive sensory stimulus. This physical stimulus is converted to an action potential by the sense organs and is transmitted through neurons to the brain. And it is in the brain that the action potential of the stimulus is interpreted.
