The correct option is C If the assertion is true but the reason is false

Many believed that Chlorella could serve as a potential source of food and energy because its photosynthetic efficiency can theoretically reach 8% comparable with other highly efficient crops nutrients. When dried, it has about 45% protein, 20% fat, 20% carbohydrate, 5% fibre and 10% minerals and vitamins.

So, the correct answer is 'If the assertion is true but the reason is false'
