Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect The resistance of a galvanometer is fixed. In meter bridge experiments, to protect the galvanometer from a high current, high resistance is connected to the galvanometer to protect it from any damage. Thus, assertion is correct and reason is incorrect.
