If both the assertion and reason are false

Edvaya · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. *Ginkgo biloba* is famously considered a living fossil. It has survived for millions of years with very little morphological change, while all of its close botanical relatives have gone extinct. Thus, the reason correctly defines what a living fossil is and explains the assertion.
