Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
The lattice energy of sodium sulfate(NaSO4) is lower than hydration energy. Hence, sodium sulfate is soluble in water. The lattice energy of barium sulfate(BaSO4) is higher than hydration energy. Hence, barium sulfate is insoluble in water.
