Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Option (D) is correct.
(A) : Evaporation depends upon available surface area of solvent at any temperature but vapour pressure is independent of surface area.
(R) :
Larger is surface area of solvent for evaporation more is evaporation.A substance that has a larger surface area will evaporate faster, as there are more surface molecules per unit of volume that are potentially able to escape.
