Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect The satellite that is equipped with electronic devices so as to receive the signals from the earth's stations, process it. amplify it and then re-transmit, is called active satellite. An active satellite carries different types of sensors (camera, infrared scanner, microwave scanner etc.) which transmits information in the form of data and pictures to the earth's stations.
On the other hand, passive satellite does not have such equipment on it. It is used only for reflecting the signals back to the earth's stations.
