Assertion :Sound waves do not travel through vacuum Reason: Sound waves are mechanical waves, which require a medium for their propagation

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
