The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
In rock salt structure, Cl ions are present at ccp sites and Na+ ions are present at all the octahedral voids.
In cubic closed packing, the number of octahedral voids is equal to the number of atoms at the ccp sites.
