Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
Assertion incorrect
Reason correct
Most neutral salts consist of cations and anions which have little tendency to react with water. Thus, salts consisting of these ions are neutral salts. For example:NaCl,KNO3,CaBr2,CsClO4 are neutral salts. When strong acids and strong bases react, the products are salt and water. The acid and base neutralize each other, so the solution will be neutral (pH=7) and the ions that are formed will not reaction with the water.So hydrolysis is the reverse of neutralization reaction
