Solution

The correct option is C (A) is true but (R) is false
Assertion is true.
When we switch on the bulb, it glows immediately.
But the Reason is false.
The drift velocity is very small, of the order of some mm.

Then-ever the bulb glows immediately since when switch is closed, all the electrons start drifting and so does the electron in direct nearby of bulb.
Thus instantly electron starts flowing through the bulb and it starts glowing.

Answer-(C)
