Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
When we stretch a wire, some work is done against the internal restoring forces acting between particles of the wire that work done appears as elastic potential energy in a wire.
Elastic potential energy(u)=12(Youngs modulus)×(strain)2
Potential energy of a stretched or compressed spring proportional to square of extension or compression.
Option D is the correct answer.
Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
