Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Holoblastic type of cleavage with equal sized blastomeres is commonly seen in eggs containing moderate to sparse amount of yolk. It is characteristic of mammals.
Reason is incorrect as eggs of most mammals including humans are of alecithal, meaning negligible amount of yolk. Centrolecithal eggs are found in insects, where yolk is present at the center of egg with cytoplasm around it.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
