Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
An assertion is True: Group I metals are precipitated with the use of dilute hydrochloric acid rather than a dilute one.
Ag++ClAgCl(white precipitate)
Pb2++2ClPbCl2 (white crystalline precipitate)
The reason is the true and correct explanation of Assertion: The dilute hydrochloric acid is enough to precipitate the cations of the group I as insoluble chlorides. Using concentrated hydrochloric acid allows the formation of soluble chlorine complex in our salts. As the concentration of Cl raises the soluble complexes to form. These complexes are soluble because they are charged molecule and therefore effectively solvated by water.
Hence, the answer is A.
