Solution

The correct option is C If assertion is true but reason is false.
Photo modulation of flowering is a phytochrome regulated process. Phytochrome is a protein pigment which occurs in two interconverlible form Pr (which absorbs red light) and Pfr (which absorbs far-red light). When Pr molecules are exposed to red light, most of them absorb it and converted to Pfr. This causes floral induction in the shoot.

Therefore, assertion is true but reason is false.
