Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The breaking of C-C bonds of complex organic molecules by oxidation in cells leading to the release of energy is called cellular respiration. Glucose is the favoured substrate for respiration. Also, compounds that are oxidised (such as glucose) are termed respiratory substrates. Protein and fats can also act as respiratory substrates.
Here, both assertion and reason are correct independently. Reason can explain the statement given as assertion.
So, the correct option is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
