Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion A rigid body is defined as an object where the distance between any two particles remains constant.
Thus even under external forces, the distance between all particles and hence the size and shape of the body remains the same.
However a soft material may change shape and size on application of external forces.
