Assertion: For an element generally

N \geq Z(N=

number of neutrons,

Z=

atomic number)
Reason: Neutrons always experience attractive nuclear force.

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 (If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because both statements are factually correct, but the neutron's attractive force isn't the primary reason for the N >= Z trend.
