Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Endometrium is necessary for implantation of blastocyst.
Reason R: In the absence of fertilization, the corpus luteum degenerates that causes disintegration of endometrium.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- ABoth A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
- BA is true but R is false.

Correct answer: A
Assertion A : True. The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus and it is where the blastocyst (a very early stage of an embryo) implants and develops during pregnancy.
Reason R : True. The corpus luteum is a temporary structure in the ovaries that produces progesterone, a hormone necessary for maintaining the endometrium. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates, progesterone levels drop, and the endometrium disintegrates and is shed during menstruation.
However, Reason R is not a direct explanation of Assertion A, they are two separate facts about the endometrium.
So, the correct answer is :
Option A : Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
