Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Nutrients are raw materials required for synthesis of protoplasm as well as a source of energy. Nutrients shield be rich in nitrogenous components for increased synthesis of protoplasm and carbohydrates for energy and cell wall synthesis. All types of micronutrients and nutrients should be available for proper growth. Water is required for cell elongation, maintenance of turgidity of growing cells and providing medium for enzyme action. Even slight deficiency of water reduces growth: It may, however, promote differentiation. Water stress completely stops growth.So the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
