Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion Typically healthy skin has a slightly acidic pH, an average of 5.5, a higher pH than this i.e., more alkali content leads to dryness of skin, affecting skin's natural balance and irritation. Reason given is a fact but doesn't explain the assertion. Hence option B is correct.
