Explanation

The Assertion correctly states that wrongful acts can have endless cascading consequences (consequences of consequences). The Reason correctly states that the 'reasonable foresight' test (from Wagon Mound) determines liability limits for such remote consequences. Both statements are independently TRUE and aligned - they describe the problem and its solution. Option C is correct.
