Solution

The correct option is A Assertion is true and reason is its correct explanation.
Filtration is used for separating insoluble solids from a liquid. To carry out filtration, a filter paper is used. This paper allows the liquid to pass through while holding back the insoluble solid.
Chalk powder is insoluble in water, so it will not pass through the filter paper. Whereas, water will pass through and hence, filtration can be used for this separation.
