Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Gravitational law is a general physical law derived from empirical observation of induction. Also, every point mass attracts every single point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points, but this is not the correct explanation of the former statement. According to legend, Newton got the idea of gravitation by observing a falling apple. He then invented a new branch of mathematics with Leibniz and called it calculus, which then used to describe the phenomenon. He published his discovery in The Royal Society of London.
