In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
This question requires evaluating two statements about Bovine Ephemeral Fever (BEF), commonly known as "three-day sickness."
Assertion (A) states that Bovine Ephemeral Fever is also called "three-day sickness." This is factually correct. The name "three-day sickness" originates from the typical duration of the fever and acute clinical signs in affected cattle, which usually lasts for approximately three days.
Reason (R) claims that the illness is named this way "Because animal dies within three days of catching infection." This statement is incorrect. While BEF is an acute disease, the mortality rate is generally low, and death within three days is not the characteristic feature that gives the disease its common name. The duration of illness (fever and signs) is around three days, not necessarily the outcome of death.
Therefore, the most appropriate answer is that Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is not correct.
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Plymoth Rock is a dual purpose breed of poultry.
Reason (R) : Because it has a large body size with poor egg laying abilities.
