Question:
Assertion (A): Infectious agents can be passed through the filter.
Reason (R): This filterable agent is responsible for disease.
Assertion (A): Infectious agents can be passed through the filter.
Reason (R): This filterable agent is responsible for disease.
Reason (R): This filterable agent is responsible for disease.
Show Hint
Viruses are called “filterable agents” because of their tiny size and disease-causing nature.

- Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is correct but R is incorrect.
- A is incorrect but R is correct.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Viruses are filterable agents, small enough to pass through filters that retain bacteria. These agents cause infectious diseases, confirming both the assertion and reason with correct logical linkage.
