The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The mean average value of alternating current (or emf) during a half, cycle is given by Im=0.636I0 ( or Em=0.636E0)
During the next half cycle, the mean value of ac will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
For this reason the average value of ac over a complete cycle is always zero. So the average value is always defined over a half cycle of ac.
