Reason: The oscillations remain approximately periodic for small damping.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Option B is correct because while both statements are true, the reason does not explain the assertion. Damped oscillations lose energy due to damping forces, and they remain approximately periodic for small damping, but the latter doesn't explain the former.
