Solution

Sure, here are the answers:

a. The correct option is (a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion. The cytoplasm is indeed the main area of cellular activities in both plant and animal cells, and various chemical reactions do occur in the cytoplasm to keep the cell alive.

b. The correct option is (b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion. While it is true that living organisms are composed of cells and products of cells, and that all cells arise from pre-existing cells, the latter is not the explanation for the former. The fact that all cells arise from pre-existing cells is a principle of cell division and reproduction, but it does not explain why organisms are composed of cells and their products.
