Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
Assertion is true as can be explained by reason statement. If the change in velocity vector changes its direction, it need not affect the direction of velocity, but acceleration will change its direction (because acceleration is the change in velocity vector, be it magnitude or direction)
