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

Question

Assertion: A spring has potential energy, when it is either compressed or stretched. Reason: In compressing or stretching a spring, work is done on it 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 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
