Solution

The correct option is C If assertion is true but reason is false.
During liquification of ice to water, an equilibrium is established. The rates of transfer of molecule from ice to water and from water to ice will remain same at the given temperature and atmosphere pressure, so, the mass of ice and water do not change. But, the system is in the state of dynamic equilibrium.
