If the body is given a small displacement from the position, a force comes into play which tries to bring the body back to the equilibrium point, giving rise to oscillations or vibrations. There is no significant difference between oscillations and vibrations. It seems that, when frequency is small, then it is called oscillations (like, the oscillation of branch of a tree), while when frequency is high, then it is called vibration (like, the vibration of a string of musical instrument). Thus, vibrations and oscillations are not two different types of motion. Therefore, Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
