Assertion: The drift velocity of electrons in a metallic wire will decrease, if the temperature of the wire is increased.

Reason: On increasing temperature, conductivity of metallic wire decreases.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.

Option B (If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because both the drift velocity decreases and conductivity decreases with increasing temperature, but the reason isn't the direct explanation.
