Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
The assertion is the statement of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity is required only when there is a need for extreme precision, or when dealing with very strong gravitational fields, such as those found near extremely massive and dense objects, or at very close distances. Hence it is true.
In Newton's theory, gravity makes particles leave their straight paths. In Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity is a distortion of space-time. Particles still follow the straightest possible paths in that space-time. hence the reason stated here is wrong.
