Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Nereis are osmoconformers. Nereids are dioecious and they discharge their haploid gametes into the water medium, a procedure called bringing forth. Additionally, upon treatment and mitotic divisions of the zygote, Nereids frame a larval stage which is like that of mollusks – i.e. a trochophore hatchling.
So, the correct option is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
