Solution

The correct option is A If both Assertion arid Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
The electrostatic field exerts a conservative force on a charged particle. So, net work done on charged particle depend only on end points, not on the actual path.
Hence, Option A is correct.
