Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is not correct but Reason is correct
Barium hydroxide is soluble in water because its lattice energy is less than its hydration energy.
When ammonium hydroxide is added to a solution of barium chloride in presence of excess ammonium chloride, the precipitate of barium hydroxide is formed because the ionic product of barium hydroxide exceeds its solubility product.
