Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Reactivity of halogens decreases down the group. Hence, Fluorine is the most reactive. So, it oxidizes water to oxygen whereas $C l_{2}$ and $B r_{2}$ react with water to form corresponding hydrohalic and hypoholous acids.
