Solution

The correct option is A

Assertion is true and reason is false.


Plants do not move, and plant body has a large proportion of dead cells in many tissues. As a result, plants have low energy needs, and can use relatively slow transport systems and thus do not require any active pumping organ or system like animals whose energy requirement is high and requires constant oxygen transport.
