C.

If assertion is true but reason is false.

In non-myelinated nerve fibres, the ionic changes are repeated over the membrane all along the length of the fibre. So, the action potential flows all along the membrane over the entire length of the fibre. But in myelinated fibres, the ionic changes and the consequent depolarisation can take place only at the nodes of Ranvier free from myelin sheath, because the myelin sheath between the nodes insulates the fibre and prevents its depolarisation. So, the action potential in effect jumps from one node to the next.This is called saltatory conduction of nerve impulses. Because of this, nerve impulses do not have to run all along the myelinated nerve fibre. This is why nerve impulses are conducted far more rapidly in myelinated fibres than in the non - myelinated ones.
