Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
The work done by centripital force is always zero as it is perpendicular to the velocity and it particles decrease or increase their speeds in circular motion then an extra acceleration generates which deviates the net acceleration from pointing in the centre.
