Correct Answer: Assertion is true, but the reason is false.


Solution : The correct option is (c) Assertion is true, but the reason is false.

The assertion that women workers are underestimated in our country is true. Women's contributions to the workforce, including their skills, capabilities, and potential, are often undervalued or underestimated in many societies, including India. This underestimation can manifest in various ways, such as lower wages, limited career opportunities, and gender biases in hiring and promotions.

However, the reason provided, stating that female employment is the sole decision of women with no social and familial inference, is false. Women's employment decisions are influenced by a wide range of factors, including societal expectations, cultural norms, family responsibilities, and access to resources and opportunities. Social and familial dynamics can significantly impact women's ability to pursue employment, the types of jobs available to them, and the support systems they have in place.

Therefore, while the assertion is true, the reason is not correct. Women's employment is influenced by multiple social and familial factors, making option c the correct choice. I apologize for the earlier incorrect explanation.
