Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Rate of evaporation $\propto$ Surface area
So, an increase in surface area increases the rate of evaporation.
Stronger the inter-molecular attractive forces, slower will be the rate of evaporation at a given temperature.

Hence, assertion is true but reason is false.
