  3. C.A is true but R is false
  4. D.A is false but R is true

Correct Answer

(A) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Solution & Explanation

The forelimbs of humans and bats are homologous — they share the same fundamental bone plan (humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges) though they perform different functions. Homology is defined by this common anatomical structure/common ancestry, so the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.
