Assertion: a static electric field can be written as the gradient of a scalar potential. Reason: the curl of a gradient vanishes identically.
Answer: A
The static field is irrotational, and the identity guarantees that any gradient is irrotational, so the representation is consistent. It is the vanishing curl of the static field that makes a scalar potential possible at all.
