Solution

The correct option is A If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion, in which a particle moves to and fro repeatedly about a mean position under a restoring force, which is always directed towards the mean position.
The restoring force acting on the particle at that instant is, F=kx where x is the displacement from mean position and k is the force constant.
