Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation to Assertion
In alkyl halides, dipole-dipole attractions exist whereas, in water, hydrogen bonding and van der walls force exist. It's difficult for alkyl halides to break those hydrogen bonds, hence they are almost insoluble in water.
