Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Colloidal sols directly formed by mixing substances like gum, gelatine, starch, rubber, etc., with a suitable liquid (the dispersion medium) are called lyophilic sols.
An important characteristic of these sols is that if the dispersion medium is separated from the dispersed phase, the sol can be reconstituted by simply remixing with the dispersion medium.
That is why these sols are also called reversible sols.
Hence, both assertion and reason are correct and also reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
