Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect Increase in pressure favours melting of ice into water because at higher pressure melting point of ice is lowered. According to Le-Chatelier's principle if pressure is increased the equilibrium will shift in direction which produces smaller number of moles.
