Correct option: A
If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option A (If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because the acceleration is constant, and the change in velocity's magnitude and direction is due to the force acting at an angle.
