Answer
AIWritten by AI (gemini) - it can contain mistakes.
Correct option: (c)
Answer: (c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
Assertion is true because knock-knee (genu valgum) is characterized by inward tilting of knees while ankles remain separated. Reason is false because an exaggeration of a backward curve describes kyphosis, not knock-knee.
