Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
The Kelvin scale is related to Celsius scale as follows: K = 0C +273.15
Therefore, temperature below 0C is possible in Celsius scale but in Kelvin scale, negative temperature is not possible because below 0 K atoms would stop moving means they do not possess energy. And since mass and energy are related no energy means no mass.

Thus assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect
Option C is correct
