The correct option is C Assertion is a true statement but the reason is false
Out-breeding is the practice of breeding unrelated animals. Interspecific hybridisation is a type of out-breeding.
Interspecific hybridisation is the practice of mating of male and female animals of two different species. The progeny obtained by this method are usually different from their parental species. In some cases, the progeny may combine desirable features of both the parents.
It is important to note that interspecific hybridization cannot be performed between all related species. Interspecific hybrids of all related species is not economically feasible. Creating interspecific hybrids only for amusement or entertainment is not allowed. Before creating the interspecific hybrid, analysing the size of the hybrid baby is important. The female animal’s womb should be able to carry the hybrid baby. For example, a pug cannot bear the child of a rottweiler (dog). The hybrids are created for economic and fundamental scientific research purposes only.So the reason is a false statement.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'c'.
