The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Reynold's number represents the ratio of the inertial force is refer as inertia (mass of moving fluid) per unit area to the viscous force per unit area. When $R_e>2000$, the flow is often turbulent in that case internal force dominate viscous force.
