Option 4: Assertion is false, but the reason is true.
Correct Answer: Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
Solution : The correct answer is (c) Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
The assertion is true. A Commercial Bill is indeed a short-term negotiable instrument used in trade transactions.
The reason is false. Commercial bills are used for short-term financing of trade transactions, not long-term. They typically have a short tenure, usually ranging from 30 to 180 days, making them short-term instruments. Therefore, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion.
