Assertion (A): All birds can fly. Reason (R): Flight is a characteristic of all avian species.

A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C. A is true, but R is false.

D. A is false, but R is true.

E. None of the above

Answer: D. A is false, but R is true.

The assertion is false since not all birds can fly (e.g., ostriches, penguins), while the reason is true.
