Assertion: For making permanent magnets,...

Assertion: For making permanent magnets, steel preferred over soft iron.
Reason: As retentivity of steel is smaller.

A

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

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.
