Detailed Solution

Assertion (A) is true, and Reason (R) is true, and Reason (R) explains Assertion (A).

Assertion (A) correctly states that in Artificial Insemination (AI) technique, fertilisation occurs internally in the oviduct of the female. In AI, sperm is deposited into the female reproductive tract, usually near the cervix or into the uterus, where it can travel through the cervix and into the oviducts to fertilise the egg if ovulation occurs.

Reason (R) correctly states that in AI technique, semen is introduced into either the vagina or the uterus of the female. This is true because AI involves the artificial introduction of sperm into the female reproductive tract to facilitate fertilisation.
