Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The correct answer is A because the assertion accurately defines active satellites as those equipped with electronic devices that can transmit signals or perform functions such as communication and data collection. The reason is also true in that passive satellites, while primarily reflective or non-active, can sometimes perform similar roles when equipped with technology that allows them to function more like active satellites, thus providing a broader understanding of satellite functionality.
