Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Geostatinary satellites are always revolving around the earth in an orbit that lies in the equatorial plane. But, Moscow does not lie on the equator, it is in the northern hemisphere. So geostationary satellites are not positioned over Moscow.
Therefore, assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
