Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
Green plants are the producers which synthesize complex substances using sunlight and carbon dioxide in the presence of chlorophyll, therefore the assertion is incorrect.

The microorganisms are the decomposers. They break-down the complex organic substances into simple inorganic substances that go into the soil and are used up once more by the plants. Since they decompose dead organisms, they are found at the end of food chains.
