Solution

The correct option is A Assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
The degree of ionisation varies with theheight. The density of atmosphere decreases with height. At great heightsthe solar radiation is intense but there are few molecules to be ionised. Close to the earth, even though the molecular concentration is very high, the radiation intensity is low so that the ionisation is again low.
