Assertion: For the plantes orbiting around the sun, angular speed, linear speed, K.E. changes with time, but angular momentum remains constant.
Reason: No torque is acting on the rotating planet. So its angular momentum is constant.

A

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.
