The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The isoelectronic point or isoionic point is the pH at which the amino acid does not migrate in an electric field. This means that it is the pH at which the amino acid is neutral i.e. the Zwitter ion form is dominant.
So, at this point,
colloidal particles can move towards either of electrode.
