Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
The magnitude of the displacement for a course of motion may be zero but the corresponding path length can be non-zero. For example, if a car starts from a point O, goes to a point P and then returns to O. The final position coincides with the initial position and the displacement is zero. The path length of this journey is OP + OP = 2OP.
So assertion correct and reason wrong.
