• D. Both Assertion and Reason are false.
• E. Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Assertion is true but Reason is false.

Some of the young people in one of the village may use any drugs or may have become addicted to certain hallucinogens. These drugs resulted in the effects on the individuals which showed symptoms of headache, drowsiness and various other types of hallucination sensations. So, the statement given as assertion is correct. The symptoms shown may be due to drugs and not due to consumption of any type of toxic fungus. The symptoms of consuming toxic fungus may involve numbness, joint pain, fatigue, headache, drowsiness, cough, shortness of breath, etc. So, the reason is false.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
