Assertion: Radio waves can be polarised.
Reason: Sound waves in air are longitudinal in nature.

A

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

B

If both, Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explaination of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
