Solution

The correct option is B Both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
Predators play an important role in the ecosystem by becoming ‘conduits’ for energy transfer across trophic levels and by keeping prey populations under control. All those who eat other organisms either herbivorous or carnivorous are grouped as predators.

Most of the carnivorous kill their prey and then feed upon them while some do not kill their prey, like vultures. They act as scavengers only. Thus both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
