  2. BIf both Assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
  3. CIf Assertion is true statement but Reason is false
  4. Dif both Assertion and Reason are false statements

Correct answer

B. If both Assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

Step-by-step solution

Inhabitants close to very busy airports are likely to experience health hazards. Because maximum acceptable range of sound is 80−90 dB80-90 \mathrm{~dB}. But in the places like airports this level is always exceeds thus it creates sound pollution and related health hazards like auditory fatigue, deafness etc. Jet planes generally produce sound above 160 dB160 \mathrm{~dB} which is much more than normal level, thus they also produce sound pollution. But as jet aeroplanes are used for some special purposes, they normally do not land in common (very busy) airports (without emergency). Thus it has no direct relation in causing sound pollution and related hazards in areas nearby very busy airports.
