Solution

The correct option is B Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
A colloidal solution shows Tyndall effect (scattering of light) while a true solution does not. This is not related to the fact that its particles move slowly than in a true solution. Tyndall effect happens because the particles in the colloid are big enough to scatter the beam of light passing through it, thus making its path visible.
