Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The climate of the coastal region is wet and hot that helps in the growth of coconut.
It uses hydrochory that is dispersal of seed through water and as it is the habitat of coastal areas it develops a mechanism of floating to get dispersed long distance from water without losing viability.
So the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation'.
