Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
When an electric field is applied to the dielectric, each molecule of dielectric gets polarised i.e., centres of gravity of positive and negative charges get displaced from each other. On the left face, a net negative charge Q, and on the right face, a positive charge +Q, appears. Thus, electric dipoles are produced inside. This is the dielectric polarisation.
Hence assertion is incorrect.
