Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
- Biofortification is a process of increasing the density of vitamins and minerals in a crop through plant breeding, transgenic techniques, or agronomic practices. Biofortified crop is a good source of higher protein, minerals and healthier fats and when consumed regularly, will generate measurable improvements in human health and nutrition.
- Azolla is a floating pteridophyte, which contains as endosymbiont the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena azollae. Thus it acts as a biofertilizer by functioning as a nitrogen source to plants.
- So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'
