Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The correct answer is option(A).
Degraded energy is energy that becomes unavailable which means it is no longer able to produce work.
Degraded energy has a connection with the second law of thermodynamics.
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a closed or isolated system always increases. This means that all available energy is used up and there is no more potential for further useful work. The system becomes disordered and also degraded. This is also called the Entropy Law.
