Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The assertion is correct because acceleration is the change in velocity and not speed. So acceleration may be there even if speed is the same, say if the direction of velocity changes. such as in a circular motion. Thus reason is also correct and explains the assertion.
