• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Rennet is obtained from calf's stomach and is a commercially available form of enzyme rennin. Rennet is used for curdling of milk to initiate the process of cheese formation. The same function can be carried out with the help of fruit extract of Withania somnifera. Thus, rennet and fruit extract of Withania somnifera have similar functions and are not antagonistic.
