Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is true but reason is false.
As an object moves through a viscous medium, the two opposing forces weight and viscous force balance each other and they attain a terminal velocity.
All rain drops won't hit the earth with same velocity as viscosity of atmosphere is not uniform and all rain drops are not of same mass.
