Solution

The correct option is A If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Electric lines of force never cross each other. Electric field at a point add up vectorally to give one resultant electric field. So, they do not have independent existence at the point of superposition so, electric lines of force do not cross each other(crossing of electric lines of force at a point means at a point two fields are having independent existence).
