Solution
The correct option is A Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion. Angiosperm is the most evolved group of plant kingdom. It is adapted for terrestrial habitats. Swimming habit of sperms is completely lacking in angiosperms. The pollen grains reach the stigma by an external agent such as wind and deliver the male nucleus in the ovule through pollen tube.
So, the correct answer is 'Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.'
