Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is (b) Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

Clouds are formed of air and water droplets and both are transparent substances but still the cloud appears white to us. It is because of the equal scattering of sunlight( consisting of seven colours) by the larger particles of water.
