Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Assertion: The assertion is true. The spread of AIDS can indeed be prevented by lifelong monogamy and the use of disposable syringes. Lifelong monogamy ensures that sexual contact is limited to one partner, reducing the risk of HIV transmission. The use of disposable syringes prevents the transmission of HIV through contaminated needles.
Reason: The reason is also true. AIDS, which is caused by the HIV virus, can spread through sexual contact (not just heterosexuality, but all forms of unprotected sex) and the use of contaminated syringes.
