Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
In the Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid donates a proton. Protophilic solvents are basic in character and react with acids to form solvated protons and they accepts proton and are generally polar in nature. Since $C H C l_{3}$ cannot accept proton and it is a non polar solvent so it is not an example for protophilic solvent.
