The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Trachea and large bronchi are lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium bearing glandular cells (mucous gland). The secretion of mucous glands keeps the walls of trachea and large bronchi moist and traps dust particles which enter with the air. The vibratile cilia of the epithelium then carry the mucous containing dust particles upto the larynx where they can be spitted out.
