Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
When planaria get cut into pieces, each piece can regenerate into a complete organism. Cells at the point of the cut grow to form a blastema that will differentiate into new tissues and regenerate the missing parts of the piece of the cut planaria.
So, the correct option is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
