Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Assertion is true but Reason is false

The ovules where micropyle come to lie close to the funiculus due to unilateral growth of the ovule are called anatropous. This is the most common type of ovule in angiosperms where the curvature of the ovule also affects the nucellus so that the later becomes horse shoe-shaped. The ovule is called amphitropous.
