Assertion: A spring has potential energy...

Assertion: A spring has potential energy , both when it is compressed or stretched.
Reason: In compressing or stretching, work is done on the spring against the restoring force.

A

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

B

If both assertion and reason are true not 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.
