Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
When e-wastes, that are discarded electronic devices or electronic wastes. Discarded electronic devices in developed countries were first exported to developing nations. There, these e wastes were recycled and used again.
In developed countries, e-waste management is guarded by certain laws and manual practice is not allowed to recycle them as it leads to their intoxication.
But their recycling in developing countries was carried out by manual practice, putting the workers these nations in serious exposure to toxic substances.
So, Assertion is true, but the reason is not true.
So, option C is the correct option.
