Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
The assertion is not entirely correct. Immunosuppressants should not be universally avoided. These drugs are crucial for patients who have undergone organ transplants or who suffer from autoimmune diseases. They help prevent the body’s immune system from rejecting the transplanted organ or attacking the body’s own cells.
The reason is true. Immunosuppressants do make the body more susceptible to a number of infectious diseases by suppressing the immune system, which is responsible for fighting off infections.
However, the assertion and reason are not universally applicable. The use of immunosuppressants is a complex decision that depends on the specific medical condition and individual patient factors. Therefore, the correct answer is B: both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
