The assertion that the use of wood-burning stoves for cooking and heating can contribute to indoor and outdoor air pollution is true. Burning wood can release particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and other harmful pollutants into the air. These pollutants can cause respiratory problems and contribute to climate change. In indoor settings, wood smoke can also create hazardous levels of pollution that can cause health problems.
The reasoning that burning wood releases particulate matter and other harmful pollutants into the air, which can cause respiratory problems and contribute to climate change, is also true and provides the correct explanation for the assertion.
Therefore, option 1) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true, and Reasoning is the correct explanation of Assertion, is the correct answer.
