Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
The Gaussian surface should preferably be normal to the direction of electric field vector in the region where it is drawn. But electric field is calculated at the Gaussian surface only, not inside it.
Thus, assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
