Solution

The correct option is B Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation.
A tautonym is one where both the genus and species have the same name. It is accepted only in zoological nomenclature and is not accepted in botanical nomenclature. Naja naja is the scientific name of cobra.

Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
