Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct

A buffer solution is one which resists changes in pH when small quantities of an acid or an alkali are added to it.

Mixture of CH3COOH and CH3COONH4 is not a buffer solution. So Assertion is incorrect.

An acidic buffer solution is simply one which has a pH less than 7. Acidic buffer solutions are commonly made from a weak acid and one of its salts - often a sodium salt.EX: CH3COOH+CH3COONa.
Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
Hence option D is correct.
