Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion A neutral point is a point near a given magnet, where the magnetic field due to the magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field, so that the net magnetic field at that point becomes zero. At the neutral point the magnetic field needle will not point in any particular direction.
