Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Heater wire must have high resistance and high melting point, because in series current remains same, therefore according to Joule's law H=I2Rt, heat produced is high if R is high. Melting point must be high, so that wire may not melt with increase in temperature.
