Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Assertion
The rate of change of total momentum of a many particle system is proportional to the sum of external forces. doesn't depend on sum of internal forces.
example. people walking inside moving railway carriage do not constitute to the momentum of carriage whereas engine towing the carriage does)
therefore assertion is incorrect.
Reason.
Internal forces can change the kinetic energy but not the momentum of the system.
