Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Alum is used to stop blood from a cut. It acts as a hemostatic agent, allowing the blood clot to form. The high ionic strength promotes flocculation of the blood and the astringent chemical causes local vasoconstriction. Thus, blood is negative sol and sol particles are coagulated more efficiently by Al3+ ions.
