Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
In the parallel plate capacitor, the field due to the charges on the left side of the left plate exactly cancels the field due to the charges on the right side of the right place, with the result that the field in both conductors is zero therefore the charge on both inner surfaces will be zero
