Correct option (a) If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion
Explanation :
For propagation of trans verse waves medium require tension which is possible due to modulus of rigidity. And in gases there is no such Young’s modulus or surface tension. So the reason given is correct explanation.
