Solution

The correct option is A if both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Domestication has deprived the plants from their natural defence systems against predators (e.g. thorns, spines, bristles, bitterness, fibres, thick skin), natural mode of dispersal, habitat and mode of propagation. Many of them now cannot survive in wild and depend completely on human beings for their survival; hence is maize is called "pampered corn". So, the correct answer is 'if both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion'.
