Assertion: If ice caps of the pole melts, the day length will shorten. Reason: Ice flows towards the equator and decreases the moment of inertia of the earth and hence increases the frequency of rotation of the earth.

A

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

B

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

C

if assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

if both assertion and reason are false.
