Question

Assertion (A) : A wet dog has a typical odour.
Reason (R) : The typical odour of a wet dog is due to secretion from sebaceous glands of the skin.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

The "wet dog" odor is a classic example of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) being released due to moisture-driven evaporation.
The sebaceous glands provide the nutrients, but the water and microbes liberate the smell.
