Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Assertion

Addition of halogens in dry condition to an alkene is regioselective i.e.devoid of any rearrangement. (True)

Reason

Addition of halogen at carbon-carbon double bond proceeds via a cyclic harmonium ion intermediate. (True)

Cyclic halonium ion intermediate is responsible for a lack of rearrangement. It does not allow rotation and rearrangement of halogens. So Reason is a correct explanation for the Assertion.
