Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect. Animate objects, for example men are able to accelerate while running because of friction. When you push ground back while running, it pushes you forward helping you accelerate. Thus, Newton's laws are applicable but both assertion and reason are incorrect. Whenever the object accelerates as a whole, there must be some external force on it.
Therefore, both assertion and reason are incorrect.
