Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
A proton is a positively charged species, whereas a neutron is neutral. Thus there exists a force of electrostatic repulsion between two protons which does not exists among proton-neutron or neutron-neutron system.
Thus the force of attraction between two protons is resultantly reduced.
