Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
A rate of reaction of most of the reactions doubles, when temperature increased from 298 K to 308 K.

The activation energy of the reaction is not affected with an increase in temperature.

But as the temperature increases, the number of molecules having energy equal to or greater than activation energy increases. This increases the number of effective collisions and the rate of the reaction.

The assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
