Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The assertion is true. In organ transplantation, the donor and recipient should be genetically as close as possible to reduce the risk of organ rejection. This is because the immune system recognizes and attacks foreign substances, including transplanted organs that are not genetically similar.
The reason is also true. In immunosuppression, the immune system can indeed reject the transplanted organ. However, the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. The reason describes a consequence (organ rejection) of not following the assertion (genetic similarity), but it does not explain why the assertion is necessary.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
