Solution

The correct option is A If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
The mRNA is located in the gap between the two ribosomal subunits, as a result of which the ribosome protects a stretch of 25 nucleotides of the mRNA from degradation by ribonuclease.
So, the correct answer is 'If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion'
