4. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Correct answer: Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Solution

Archaebacteria (archaea) share several molecular features with eukaryotes, especially in their genome and gene-expression machinery. Since the archaean genome is more similar to the eukaryotic genome than to the bacterial genome, it correctly explains why archaea are considered closer to eukaryotes.
