Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Biotechnology has extensive use in welfare of human race but it can used
for destructive purposes too. Bioweapons are one such use of
biotechnology. War which is fought by bioweapons against human and or
their crops and animals is called biowar. Viruses, bacteria and some
other harmful organisms can be used as biological weapons. Bioweapons
take much less space than traditional weapons and can be far more
disastrous. One such example is anthrax bacterium which was sent through
letters after September 2001.So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
