Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect X-ray astronomy is the study of X-rays from astronomical objects. X-rays are absorbed by the atmospheres. Hence, their study is possible only from satellites. Focussing of x-rays is difficult and hence increasing its efficiency is difficult.
So, the assertion is correct and the reason is incorrect.
