Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
There are ceruminous glands in the ear which secrete wax to entrap the microbes which enter the ear canal. Many people clean the wax with the help of pin rather than ear buds. The use of pin for cleaning the wax is considered dangerous.
The pin made of metal may damage the ear drum. The ear drum is the receptive organ to detect the sound waves which enter the ear through the canal. The ear drum is responsible for vibrating on receiving the stimulus and pass on the stimulus to the inner ear. Damage to the ear drum may result in hearing loss.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
