Explanation :

• Assertion (A) : Tidal energy is a renewable source  of energy,as it is powered by the natural rise and fall of ocean  tides and currents. So,this is true.
• Reason (R): Tidal energy is produced by the surge  of ocean waters during the rise and fall of tides . So, this is also true.
• Tidal energy is a renewable source  of energy but it is not related to Tidal energy being produced by the surge  of ocean waters during the rise and fall of tides . So, Reasoning is false.

Thus,

• Assertion is true
• Reason is true
• Reasoning is not the correct explanation for Assertion

So, the correct answer is (b)
