Solution
The correct option is A Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is correct explanation of the assertion On heating the mean position of atoms get disturbed and they changes their mean position ( the distance between them increases) this results in decrease of intermolecular forces among atoms and elastic property depends on intermolecular forces. Thus elastic property decreases.
