Question
Assertion : Television signals are received through sky-wave propagation.
Reason : The ionosphere reflects electromagnetic waves of frequencies greater than a certain critical frequency.

Answer

(d) TV signals (frequency greater than $30 \mathrm{MHz}$ ) cannot be propagated through sky wave propagation.Above critical frequency, an electromagnetic wave penetratates the ionosphere and is not reflected by it.
