Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion. Buffer solution is combination of salt of weak acid/base.
For example, pH of salt of weak acid strong base is: pH=pka+[salt][acid]→(concentrationratio)
On dilution, ratio doesn't changes. ∴ Reason is also correct and is the correct explanation.
