Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
$N a O X$ is a salt of weak acid ( $H O X$ ) are strong base ( $N a O H$ ).
On hydrolysis, $N a O X$ forms strong base $N a O H$ and weak acid $H O X$ .
Hence, the aqueous solution of $N a O X$ is alkaline.
Thus, both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
