Assertion `:` Blue colour of sky appears due to scattering of blue colour.
Reason `:` Blue colour has shortest wave length in visible spectrum.

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 the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.
