Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The deep purple colour of potassium permanganate is due to charge transfer from oxygen to Mn.
One of the oxygen becomes $O^{-}$ and the oxidation state of Mn(VII) changes to Mn(VI). Mn(VI) has one unpaired 3d electron. This results in colour. Thus, both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
