Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
the body remains always at r distance from the center so the net force done by the centripetal force is zero. (displacement and centripetal force are perpendicular to each other.)
Hence assertion and Reason are both correct. Hence option 'A' is the answer.
