Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion o-hydroxy benzaldehyde shows chelation or intramolecular H-bonding while p-hydroxy benzaldehyde shows intermolecular H-bonding.
Due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding,p-hydroxy benzaldehyde has more melting point than o-hydroxy benzaldehyde.
