Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Apomixis is the asexual form for the production of seed without fertilization of gametes. The new plant which is formed is identical to the parent due to asexual reproduction and contains no new genetic sequence. There is no fertilization and gamete formation, so there is no need of meeting of two individuals.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
