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.
