Solution
The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
The electrons in cathode rays would adjust towards the positively charged path and away from negatively charged plates.
Cathode rays are so named because they are emitted by an electrode or cathode in a vacuum tube. Since the electrons have a negative charge, they are repelled by the cathode and attracted to the anode.
