The assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect

Correct Answer:

Both the assertion and reason are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2 - Both the assertion and reason are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

Assertion: Due to globalisation we celebrate Valentine's Day and eat McDonald's burgers.

Reason: Due to globalisation all over the world people suffer from different diseases such as Ebola etc.

The assertion is correct as globalization has led to the spread of Western culture, including celebrations like Valentine's Day and fast food chains like McDonald's.
The reason is also true as globalization has facilitated the rapid spread of diseases across the globe.

While both statements are true, they are not directly related to each other. The spread of diseases is not the cause of celebrating Valentine's Day or consuming McDonald's burgers.
