Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

Assertion is correct, as a frame moving in a circle is always accelerating and hence, it cannot be called an inertial frame. Reason says that this frame has a constant acceleration, however the direction of acceleration is continuously changing and thus, reason is incorrect.
