Options:
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.

Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
In circular motion the frictional force acting towards the centre of the horizontal circular path provides the centripetal force and avoid overturning of vehicle. Due to the change in direction of motion, velocity changes in circular motion.
