Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
When HCl is passed through saturated NaCl solution then the concentration of Cl increases so equilibrium will move backward results in formation of NaCl means there is decrease in solubility of NaCl so solid NaCl starts separating out.
HCl does not decreases the solubility product of NaCl rathar than it results in decrease in solubility of NaCl.
