Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Sweat glands produced from stratum germinations, plays an important role in the regulation of body temperature. When the body temperature rises too much, the sweat glands are stimulated to take up water from blood vessels and to pour out their secretion on the general surface of the skin. Evaporation of sweat from the body surface uses up latent heat of vaporization from the skin, thus the extra heat of the body is used up and the body cools down reducing the temperature.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
