Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
At normal pressure positive ions and electrons liberated by ionisation of gas atoms, due to cosmic rays are very small in number and they collide constantly with the gas atoms which are present in large numbers, and hence are unable to move a long distance under the electric field and soon get recombined i.e., flow of ions in the gas does not take place.
