Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect. A conservative force is a force with the property that the work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken.
Equivalently, if a particle travels in a closed loop, the net work done (the sum of the force acting along the path multiplied by the distance traveled) by a conservative force is zero.
Friction can acts as constant force but it is non conservative. Hence reason is incorrect
