Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is proportional to the product of their mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. But the law of gravitation is not analogous to magnetic force between moving charges.

Hence, assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect.
