Solution

The correct option is B If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Methanogens are bacteria that are present in the gut of several ruminant animals. They do anaerobic respiration and convert organic monomers into methane gas. But, the methanogens are present in the gut of ruminant animals to digest the carbohydrate (cellulose) ingested by animals.
Thus, both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
So, the correct answer is (B).
