Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

tropical and subtropical countries. Coconut fruit shows the hydra chary means
the dispersal takes place through a water medium. Being the habitat of the coastal

before losing viability.
So, both the assertion and reason are
true but the reason is not a correct explanation of it.
