Assertion : A stone and a feather dropped from the same height do not reach the ground at the same time.
Reason : Acceleration due to gravity is dependent on the mass of the object.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.
