Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Magnetic field lines always form closed loops
Because there are no magnetic charges (monopoles). Electric field lines end on electric charges. Magnetic field lines have no objects on which they could end, so they must form loops.
Rest charges produce electric field, Moving charges produces Electric as well as Magnetic field, whereas Accelerating charge produces Electromagnetic wave.
Hence option B.
