The assertion that agricultural activities such as crop burning and the use of pesticides can contribute to air pollution is true. Crop burning is a common agricultural practice that releases particulate matter into the air. The particulate matter can cause respiratory problems and contribute to climate change. The use of pesticides can also contribute to air pollution by releasing harmful chemicals and gases into the atmosphere.

The reasoning that crop burning releases particulate matter and the use of pesticides can release harmful chemicals and gases is also true and provides the correct explanation for the assertion. The particulate matter released during crop burning and the harmful chemicals and gases released by pesticides can cause air pollution.

Therefore, option a) Both Assertion and Reasoning are true, and Reasoning is the correct explanation of Assertion, is the correct answer.
