The correct option is D Assertion and reason are false statements


Veganism is a practice in which an individual abstains from consuming products derived from animals.

Lab-grown meat cannot be considered vegan because the main ingredient needed to produce the synthetic meat are cells of the animals that are derived from the animal itself.

For example, to create cultured meat, a cow’s stem cells, the building blocks of muscle and other organs are used. The cells are placed in petri dishes with nutrients like amino acids and carbohydrates to help the muscle cells multiply and grow. Once enough muscle fibers have grown, the result is a meat that resembles beef.
