Read the passage given below and answer the following questions :
Scuba apparatus includes a tank of compressed air toted by the diver on his or her back, a hose for carrying air to a mouthpiece, a face mask that covers the eyes and nose, regulators that control air flow, and gauges that indicate depth and how much air remains in the tank. A diver who stays down too Iong swims too deep or comes up too fast can end up with a condition called 'the bends." In this case, bubbles of gas in the blood can cause intense pain, even death.
In these following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices
Assertion : Soft drinks and soda water bottles are sealed under high pressure.
Reason : High pressure maintains the taste and texture of the soft drinks.

Options

A. Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
B. Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
C. Assertion is correct statement but Reason is wrong statement
D. Assertion is wrong statement but Reason is correct statement

Explanation

To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided.

### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion
The assertion states: "Soft drinks and soda water bottles are sealed under high pressure."

- This statement is **true**. Soft drinks and soda water are indeed sealed under high pressure to keep the carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the liquid. This is a common practice in the beverage industry.

### Step 2: Analyze the Reason
The reason states: "High pressure maintains the taste and texture of the soft drinks."

- This statement is **false**. While high pressure does help in keeping the carbon dioxide dissolved, which contributes to the fizziness of the drink, it does not directly maintain the taste and texture. The primary reason for sealing under high pressure is to increase the solubility of the gas (carbon dioxide) in the liquid.

### Step 3: Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- The assertion is true.
- The reason is false.

### Final Answer
The correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. Thus, the answer is option 3.
