Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect
The greater the distance of electrons from nuclear charge, the less control the nuclear charge has on the charge distribution, and thus the increased polarizability of the atom.Distance is greater if atom has has larger size.
Polarizability is also observed by induced polar atom from another polar atom.
