Assertion: Space rockets are usually lauched in the the equitorial line from west to east.
Reason: The acceleration due to gravity is minimum at the equatore.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Asseration.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
