Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion A) Assertion is correct as phagocytes perform phagocytosis and digest microbes and other debris. Reason is correct because natural killer cells (lymphocytes) destroy damaged, faulty and infected cells but Reason does not explain the Assertion. B) Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion as natural killer cells are not related to phagocytes. C) Reason is correct. D) Both Assertion and Reason are correct. So the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
