Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
All living organisms, have an inherent ability to sense their surroundings or environment and respond to their environmental stimuli. Plants and animals both respond to the external stimuli. Human beings are the only organisms who are aware of themselves, i.e., have self-consciousness.
Hence the correct option is B as the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
