Assertion is true, but the Reasoning is false.

Assertion is false, but the Reasoning is true.

Correct Answer:

Assertion is false, but the Reasoning is true.

Explanation:

Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences. According to him, intelligence is not a single entity; rather distinct types of intelligences exist. Each of these intelligences are independent of each other. This means that, if a person exhibits one type of intelligence, it does not necessarily indicate being high or low on other types of intelligences.
