Assertion Forest influences local air circulation and may thus retain solid suspensions and gaseous elements. Reason Forests control the wind velocity and air flows.

1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
4. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Correct answer: Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Solution

Forests modify local airflow by increasing surface roughness and acting as barriers, which reduces wind velocity. That slower, altered circulation can trap suspended solids and gaseous substances, so the reason correctly explains the assertion.
