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

Assertion (A): In gymnosperms, seeds are naked.
Reason (R): The gymnosperms ovules are not enclosed by the ovary wall.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

In gymnosperms, seeds are indeed naked, meaning they are not enclosed within a fruit. This is because the gymnosperms' ovules are not enclosed by an ovary wall or fruit structure. Instead, the seeds of gymnosperms are exposed and often found on the surface of cone scales or similar structures. Unlike angiosperms (flowering plants), which have enclosed seeds within fruits, gymnosperms have seeds that are not protected by an ovary.

So, Reason (R) correctly explains why Assertion (A) is true.
