Solution

The correct option is D Both assertion and reason are false
Calcium ions are the ions that plays an important role in muscle contraction.

Na and K ions are involved in generation and conduction of nerve impulses along axons. The changes in concentration of Na and K ions across the axon, brings about a change in potential difference which causes the conduction of nerve impulses.
