Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
We have an analogous Gauss law for magnetism which states that the net magnetic flux through any closed surface is essentially zero. Lets say that the surface housed a magnetic monopole, then this flux would be non zero, which has never been observed so this confirms non-existence of magnetic monopoles. Therefore, this suggests that field lines must essentially be closed loops.
Thus, assertion and reason are both correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
