Solution

The correct option is D Both assertion and reason are incorrect
ZIFT (zygote intra fallopian transfer) is a type of assisted reproductive technology in which the zygote or early embryos (with upto 8 blastomeres) are transferred into the fallopian tube.
Therefore, if both the fallopian tubes are damaged then ZIFT may not be a successful conception technique.

Hence both assertion and reason are incorrect.
