Choose the correct option for the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R).
Assertion
Terminal velocity is a stable limiting velocity for a sphere falling through a viscous liquid under Stokes' law.
Reason
Stokes drag increases linearly with speed, so a speed below terminal value gives a net force in the direction of motion, whereas a speed above terminal value gives a restoring deceleration.
