Assertion: the speed of light follows from the two free space constants. Reason: their product's reciprocal square root has the dimensions of a velocity.
Answer: B
The wave equation derived from Maxwell's equations has exactly that combination as its wave speed, and the dimensional check confirms it can be one. Substituting the measured values gives the measured speed of light, which was Maxwell's great result.
