Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion As there is no external force acting on the system containing sun and planet. So, angular momentum of planets about sun is conserved. Gravitational force is conservative but it does not explains the conversation of angular momentum.
