Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion
p-Nitrophenol is a stronger acid than o-nitrophenol. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding makes the o-isomer weaker than the p-isomer.
Thus, both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
