Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Amniocentesis for sex determination is one of the strategies of Reproductive and Child Health Care Programme. Reason R: Ban on amniocentesis checks increasing menace of female foeticide.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic technique used to detect genetic disorders, not for sex determination. Sex determination using amniocentesis is legally banned to prevent female foeticide. Therefore, Assertion A is false, and Reason R is true.
