Assertion: Work done by or against gravitational force in moving a body from one point to another is independent of the actual path followed between the two points.
Reason: Gravitational forces are conservative forces.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

Option A (If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because the assertion is true, the reason is true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
