Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion A: Whiptail is a physiological disorder of cauliflower.

Reason R: The boron deficiency in the soil is a possible reason for whiptail of cauliflower.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

Whiptail is a physiological disorder of cauliflower, so Assertion (A) is correct. However, it is caused by molybdenum (Mo) deficiency, especially in acidic soils, not due to boron deficiency. Since the Reason given mentions boron, it is incorrect. Therefore, A is true, but R is not true.
