Answer 1

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

The infundibulum is the funnel-shaped part nearest the ovary, and its fimbriae help collect the ovum. The reason states a function, but does not explain why the infundibulum is funnel-shaped or closest to the ovary.
