Assertion: On a banked curved track, vertical component of normal reaction provides the necessary centripetal force. Reason: Centripetal force is not always required for turning. (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

Centripetal force is provided by the horizontal component of normal reaction. Vertical component balances the weight of the vehicle. Centripetal force is required for turning. Hence, both, assertion and reason are false.
