Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation to Assertion
Generally, organic compounds are non-polar. So, most of them are insoluble in water but soluble in organic compounds.
Ethyl alcohol can make an intermolecular hydrogen bond with water thus it is soluble in water.
Also, it is a non-polar in nature and non-polar compounds are soluble in organic compounds.
Thus, ethyl alcohol is soluble in organic compounds.
