Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The assertion is correct. Because high energy particles from outer space enters the earth's atmosphere and causes ionisation of atoms of gases present in the atmosphere.
The reason is also correct because as we go higher the altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases.
But the reason does not give correct explanation to assertion.
