Solution

Correct option: (d) If both assertion and reason are false.

Vagina is the part of the female reproductive system where the penis enters and insemination takes place.

Hence, it may be called the copulation canal.

Fertilisation is the process of fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.

The process of fertilisation occurs in the fallopian tube and not in the vagina.

Hence, vagina is not the fertilisation canal.
