Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion

Characteristics of cathode rays are:

(i) The cathode rays start from the cathode and move towards the anode.

(ii) These rays themselves are not visible but their behaviour can be observed with the help of phosphor materials such as ZnS.

(iii) In the absence of an electrical field or magnetic field, these rays travel in straight lines.

(iv) In the presence of the electrical or magnetic field, the behaviour of cathode rays will be similar to that expected from negatively charged particles.

(v) The characteristics of cathode rays i.e. electrons don't depend upon the material of electrodes.

Thus both assertion and reasons are correct but the reason is not the explanation of the assertion.

Option B is correct.
