Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Structures like bridges and buildings have a natural frequency of vibration within them. A force that's applied to an object at the same frequency as the object's natural frequency will amplify the vibration of the object in an occurrence called mechanical resonance. If the mechanical resonance is strong enough, the bridge can vibrate until it collapses from the movement.
