Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
In case of loss of turgidity, the shoots droop down and the leave show
wilting. In wilting the individual cells of leaves and other softer
parts become flaccid, due to loss of water from their interior. In
temporary wilting, plants gain their turgidity when they are given
water. If the soil does not obtain water periodically, the recovery may
be only partial or it may not occur at all. The latter condition is known
as permanent wilting.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
