Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Somatic hybridization and cross-breeding are two different methods of producing individuals with desired characteristics.
Somatic hybridization gives allows genomic manipulation by fusing the protoplast (cell well removed) from different individuals. It is mainly carried out for plants and bacteria. It is an asexual method.
Cross-breeding is the process of mating individuals from different breeds, varieties or species and gives rise to variability. It is commonly carried out for animals, majorly domesticated animals.
Therefore, the statements are correct, but the reason is not an explanation for assertion.
