Respiratory distress syndrome is a disease occurs mainly in a newborn is due to the insufficient amount in a production of surfactant and structural immaturity in lungs.Lecithin is a phospholipid component of fetal lung fluid and surfactant and helps in re-expansion of alveoli in its absence or in-sufficient amount the alveoli of a foetus will collapse.So the correct option is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'
