The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
Disseminated tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial infection in which TB bacteria has spread from the lungs to other parts of the body through the blood or lymph system. Disseminated tuberculosis can be cured by rifampicin.
The numbers of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have increased, partly due to misuse of antibiotics and this can be seen in tuberculosis.
Both statements are correct but latter is not the correct explanation for the former.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B), 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
