Answer

Correct option: B.
Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Allergy is non$-$infectious unusual reaction or hypersensitivity of an individual to a foreign substance or agent that may be harmless to other individuals $($thus it is considered as immunity disorder$).$ It is non$-$communicable as it is confined to a person only and does not spread from one person to another. The foreign substance or allergen on first contact functions as mild antigen. It produces antibodies which remain attached with the mast cell. Lysis of mast$-$cells occur, which releases histamine as allergy mediator.
