Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
RBCs are devoid of a nucleus in most of the mammals. This adaptation the RBCs to carry the maximum amount of Hb and hence the maximum amount of oxygen. The lack of a nucleus also gives the RBCs their characteristic biconcave shape and allows them to have a higher surface area for diffusion.Thus, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.'
