Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
HCl gas can't be dried using CaO since it reacts with HCl as follows.

$C a O + H C l \to C a C l_{2} + H_{2} O$

Formation of calcium oxychloride is given below, thus reason is incorrect.

$C a (O H)_{2} + C l_{2} \to C a O C l_{2} c a l c i u m o x y c h l o r i d e + H_{2} O$

Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
