The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Venus is the brightest planet in the solar system." - This is true because when observed from Earth, Venus appears brighter than other planets due to its proximity and reflective properties. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is that "It appears bright because it reflects 75% of the light which it receives from the Sun." - This is also true. Venus has a highly reflective atmosphere composed of thick clouds that reflect a significant amount of sunlight. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - The assertion is correct, and the reason is also correct. - The reason explains why Venus is the brightest planet: its ability to reflect a large portion of sunlight contributes to its brightness. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion, we conclude that both the assertion and reason are valid. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
