$Assertion :$ Falling raindrops acquire a terminal velocity.
$Reason :$ A constant force in the direction of motion and a velocity dependent force opposite to the direction of motion, always result in the acquisition of terminal velocity.

If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Solution

It is true that raindrops usually attain terminal velocity. During their motion, the drops experience a velocity dependent viscous force which act in opposite direction of velocity and it balances the weight of drop. Thus no net external force acts on the drop and the drops fall with constant velocity which is termed as terminal velocity.

Hence Assertion statement is correct but reason statement is incorrect.
