Constant acceleration path

Assertion (A): A particle with constant acceleration always moves along a straight line.
Reason (R): A particle with constant acceleration will not change direction of motion.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

A projectile experiences constant acceleration (g) but follows a parabolic path. Also, a ball thrown vertically upwards under gravity has constant acceleration but reverses its direction of motion, making both statements false.
