Solution

The correct option is B If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is
not a correct explanation of the assertion
Phyllodes do not bear leaves, branches, flowers, etc. In Parkinsonia aculeata, the ranch ends in a spine. Rachis branches are elongated, flattened and green to function as phyllodes. They bear small leaflets which fall off very easily.
