Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
A large number of Schottky defects lead to lowering in a density of crystal lattice. The defect is due to missing cation and anion. An equal number of cations and anions are missing to maintain electroneutrality.

When an ion leaves its correct lattice site and occupies an interstitial site, Frenkel defect is observed. Hence, the density of the crystal is not affected.

Hence, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
