Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Commercially acid lime is propagated by seed.
Reason (R) : Polyembryony is found in acid lime.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Polyembryony in Citrus: Nucellar seedlings developed from apomictic embryos are: 1. Trueness-to-type (Genetically identical to mother). 2. Virus-free & vigorous. That is why Acid Lime is commercially seed-propagated!
