Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Animals use blood to
transport various elements, such as water and food, throughout the body. In
human beings, blood is also used to carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues.
The oxygen is attached to a substance called haemoglobin, which has a
characteristic red colour. Insects have blood too, but it is not used to carry
oxygen. Instead, oxygen is distributed via an elaborate system of tubes and air
sacs. Thus, insect blood does not have haemoglobin and is not red. In general,
insect blood is either colourless, pale yellow or green. So, the correct answer is option B
