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(Young′smodulus)×(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
