Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Plastic takes several years to decompose hence we can say that plastic is a non-biodegradable material. So when we use such plastics they get to accumulate on the earth. As the accumulation of plastic increases, they can block the drains during rain hence the $assertion is incorrect.$
All plastics are not lighter than water some plastics are heavier than water. So $reason is also incorrect.$
Option $D$ is correct.
