Select the option that is true regarding the following two statements labelled Assertion (A) and Reason (R)
Assertion (A): Nutritional support of probiotics is prebiotics

Reason (R): Prebiotics is described as indigestible fibre supported growth and multiplication of probiotics.

The correct option regarding the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) statements is:

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

Assertion (A) states that "Nutritional support of probiotics is prebiotics," which means that prebiotics provide the necessary nutrition to support the growth and activity of probiotics. Reason (R) states that "Prebiotics is described as indigestible fiber supporting growth and multiplication of probiotics," which is a correct definition of prebiotics. Furthermore, Reason (R) explains why Assertion (A) is true, as it clarifies that prebiotics, being indigestible fiber, indeed support the growth and multiplication of probiotics. Therefore, both the Assertion and the Reason are true, and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.
