Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Center of mass does not move under the influence of internal forces because all the internal forces add up to zero net force on the system as a whole. Thus, in the absence of any external force, center of mass will not move.
Internal forces may be conservative. Consider a two mass system connected by an ideal spring. Thus, assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
