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.
