The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are false.
The force on a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field always acts in direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the charge. As work done by magnetic field on the charge is zero. $[W=F S \cos \theta]$, so the energy of the charged particle does not change.
