| Assertion (A): | Some human organs like liver, kidney fail to function normally and transplantation is the only remedy to enable the patient to live a normal life. |
| Reason (R): | Tissue matching and blood group matching are essential before undertaking any transplant and patient has to take immunosuppresant thereafter. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
