Minerals on the basis of their quantity required by organisms for their
physiological activity are grouped into two groups major and minor.
Major and minor minerals both are necessary but required in large and
small amount respectively. Major minerals of the animal body are
calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chlorine, magnesium and sulphur; minor
minerals of the animal body are iron, copper, cobalt, manganese,
molybdenum, zinc, fluorine, iodine and selenium. So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
