Assertion (A) : Teacher should encourage boys of her class to participate in sports while assigning art decoration to girls.
Reason (R) : Children acquire gender roles primarily because of the underlying biological differences.

Choose the correct option.

  • A.(A) is true but (R) is false.
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are false.
  • C.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • D.Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Answer: B

The answer is Both (A) and (R) are false.

The assertion asks the teacher to assign sports to boys and art decoration to girls. That reinforces gender stereotypes and limits every child's opportunities; a teacher should offer all activities to all children according to interest.

The reason is also false. Gender roles are learned mainly through socialisation: from family, peers, media and school, through observation, imitation and reinforcement. Biological sex differences do not determine which activities children prefer or are good at. With both statements false, the remaining options cannot apply.
