Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Assertion:
The electric and magnetic field of the Electromagnetic Wave interacts with the matter and set up oscillations in the matter due to the energy transfer.

Reason:
The Extent of Interaction depends upon the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave as the oscillations are the result of several factors like absorption or scattering which depend on wavelength of EM wave.
Thus, the Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.
