View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: C — If assertion is true but reason is false.
NCERT confirms that higher categories group similar organisms (Assertion true). However, NCERT explicitly states “In case of plants, classes with a few similar characters are assigned to a higher category called Division.” The Reason incorrectly uses “Phylum” which is the animal equivalent - plants use “Division,” creating a plant/animal terminology swap.
