Option 1 states that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. The assertion states that transfer of genetic information from one generation to the next is accomplished by DNA, which is true. The reason states that DNA is fundamentally an antigen-antibody reaction, which is incorrect. DNA is not an antigen-antibody reaction but rather a molecule that contains genetic information.

Option 2 states that both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, but R is not a correct explanation of A. This is the correct option. While the assertion is true, the reason is false as DNA is not an antigen-antibody reaction.

Option 3 states that A is true but R is false. This is the correct answer. The assertion is true as DNA does play a role in transferring genetic information from one generation to the next. However, the reason is false as DNA is not fundamentally an antigen-antibody reaction.

Option 4 states that A is false but R is true. This is not the correct answer. The assertion is true, and DNA does play a role in transferring genetic information. Therefore, option 4 is incorrect.

In conclusion, option
