Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Due to greater number of oxygen attached directly to central metal atom OH bond in HClO4 is much weaker than OH bond in H2SO4.So HClO4 is stronger acid than H2SO4 and H2SO4 acts as a base in presence of HClO4.
