Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Silicones are polymers that include any inert, synthetic compound made up of repeating units of siloxane, which is a functional group of two silicon atoms and one oxygen atom frequently combined with carbon and/ or hydrogen. Both Si-O and Si-C bond energies are very high and hence silicones won't react with other substances making them inert.
Hence option A is correct.
