Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Nuclear forces are charge independent:-
Nature of force remains the same whether we consider force between two protons, between two neutrons or between a proton and a neutron
These are short range forces : Nuclear forces operate between two nucleons situated in close neighborhood only. Hence, the assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
