Solution

The correct option is B The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion
According to the Dalton’s atomic theory, an atom is indivisible so the assertion is correct, but later it was known that an atom is divisible and contain subatomic particles namely: electrons, protons and neutrons.
Hence the reason is correct but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
