##### ASSERTION

Absolute error may be negative or positive.

##### REASON

Absolute error is the difference between the real value and the measured value of a physical quantity.

Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct

##### SOLUTION
Absolute error is the difference between the exact value and the approximation. It is always positive.
So, option D is correct.

You're just one step away
