Solution

Answer: (a). Assertion and reason both are correct and reason does not explain assertion.

Network polymers are thermosetting because they can't be reused after heating once. Because after heating it undergoes extensive cross-linking in moulds and again become infusible.

Extensive cross-linking during polymerisation leads to the formation of a three-dimensional network which is hard, infusible and insoluble.
