Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion: The scattering of light depends on the wavelength of light. Light with a smaller wavelength gets scattered more.
Reason: Since blue light has the shortest wavelength in the visible spectrum, it gets scattered more and we see the blue colour in the sky. The blue colour of the sky is produced by dust particles dispersing blue light to the greatest extent possible. Therefore, both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion. Consider the following figure for this.
