Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
It has long been recognized that women who breastfeed their children have a longer period of amenorrhea and infertility following delivery than do those women who do not breastfeed. The longer the episodes of breastfeeding, the longer will be the period of anovulation, and the longer the period of infertility.
When women breastfeed, the same hormones that make milk, called prolactin, also suppress the release of hormones that cause eggs to mature and become fertile and the lining of the womb to nourish fertile eggs.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
