Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
Microscope is an optical instrument which forms a magnified image of a small nearby object, and thus increases the visual angle subtended by the image of the eye so that the image as seen by the observer is bigger and distinct. Therefore, angular magnification of image is greater than the object.
Thus, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
