The correct option is that Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

Explanation:

Assertion (A) : Micronutrients are required in our body in very less quantities.

• Assertion (A) states that micronutrients are required in our body in very small quantities, which is true.
• Micronutrients are nutrients that are required in trace amounts for the proper functioning of various metabolic pathways in the body.

Reason (R) : They are less important for normal functioning of human body organs and systems.

• However, Reason (R) states that micronutrients are less important for the normal functioning of human body organs and systems, which is false.
• While micronutrients are required in smaller quantities than macronutrients, they are still essential for the proper functioning of various bodily functions, such as immune function, growth and development, and energy production.
• In fact, micronutrient deficiencies can lead to a variety of health problems, including anemia, goiter, and impaired immune function.
