The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.

Correct Answer:

The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3 - The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.


Assertion: Legislature is merely a law making body. 
Reason: Legislature is the centre of all democratic political process.

The Assertion "Legislature is merely a law making body" is INCORRECT as  Legislature is NOT MERELY a law making body. LAWMAKING is but ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS of the legislature. 

Legislature is not merely a law making body. Lawmaking is but one of the functions of the legislature. It is the centre of all democratic political process (REASON). It is packed with action; walkouts, protests, demonstration, unanimity, concern and co-operation. All these serve very vital purposes. Indeed, a genuine democracy is inconceivable without a representative, efficient and effective legislature. The legislature also helps people in holding the representatives accountable. This is indeed, the very basis of representative democracy.
