Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The formation of ATP occurs on the inner membrane of mitochondria, through enzyme ATP synthase, also recognized as ATPase due to its function of ATP hydrolysis during earlier stages of evolution. The proton gradient that is created by the ETS and ATPase results in the formation of ATP molecules.So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'
