Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Furan is less soluble than DHF (Dilydrofuran) in $H_{2} O$ .
The lone pair of electrons on $O$ atom in furan is involved in the resonance with ring. Hence, it is less available for the formation of hydrogen bond with water. Hence, both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
