Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
We know that the essential requirement for a substance to be optically active is that the substance should not have a plane of symmetry in its structure.

In the given structure of [Co(NO₂)₃(NH₃)₃], there is a plane of symmetry that makes the complex optically inactive.

Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.

Option A is correct.
