The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  • Arthropods have a skeleton on the outside of their bodies which is known as the exoskeleton and is made up of chitin.
  • This exoskeleton helps to prevent water loss from the body of an insect thus, allowing it to survive well in a terrestrial environment.
  • Its rigid structure protects the insect insects from weather and predators found on land.
  • Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
