Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Reason is correct. A resistance does not oppose increase or decrease of current through it. However an inductor is a current storing device.
As soon as switch is opened, current stored in the inductor tends to dissipate into the circuit, through the wire ab.
