Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Humidity is the amount of water present in the air. The air around us cannot hold more amount of water vapor at a given temperature. If the amount of water in the air is already high.Then the rate of evaporation decreases.
Now on a humid day , the air already has sufficient amount of water vapor present . As the result the rate of evaporation decreases and hence it takes long to dry wet clothes in humid weather.
