Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The placed charge has the electric field lines which will attract plate because charge will be accumulated on the surface in order to make electric field inside the plate as zero. Also it is well known that two charges placed in a field have a relation of force between them depending on their charges, hence, plate is attracted towards the charge.
