Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
In females of placental mammals, there are cyclical changes in ovaries, accessory reproductive ducts and hormones during the reproductive phase. In non-primate mammals like cows, sheep, rats, deer, dogs, tiger, etc., such cyclical changes during reproduction are called oestrous cycle. It consists of a short period of oestrous or heat (e.g., 1224 hours in cow) followed by an oestrous or passive period. Sex urge is increased and female permits copulation only during oestrous period.
