Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect. A thick lens can be considered to be a stack of prisms. Light, as it passes through a thick lens bends more because it has to travel more distance through the lens material. Different colors bend by different angles due to different refractive indices. Therefore, chromatic aberration is observed.
Thus, assertion is correct and reason is incorrect.
