Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
When a current carrying conductor having no net charge is placed in a magnetic field, the free electrons of the conductor move towards the positive end of the conductor with same drift velocity, hence a magnetic force acts on them. The positive ions of the conductor being stationary, do not experience any magnetic field.
