E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
When the bird perches on a single high power line, no current passes through its body because its body is at equipotential surface i.e., there is no potential difference. While when man touches the same line, standing bare foot on ground the electrical circuit is completed through the ground. The hands of man are at high potential and his feet's are at low potential. Hence large amount of current flows through the body of the man and person therefore gets a fatal shock.
