Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Unbalanced bombardment of the particle of dispersed phase by molecules of dispersion medium causes Brownian motion. Colloidal solutions exhibit Brownian movement due to the collision of water molecules with colloidal particles.
The stirring effect due to Brownian movement does not allow the particles to settle down. Hence the Brownian movement responsible for the stability of sols.
Hence both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
