Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Newland's law of octaves of elements is a function of their state that the property of every eighth element is the repetition of the first due to the same number of valence electrons.
The maximum of 8 electrons can be accommodated in valence shell it is called octet. but this is not the reason behind the Newland's law of Octave. Thus the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
