Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
A solution that resists change in pH value upon addition of small amount of strong acid or base (less than 1 %) or when solution is diluted is called buffer solution.
But pH value of acidic buffer solution change, if buffer solution is diluted upto very large extent because [H+] decrease due to change in concentration and decrease in concentration is more significant as compared to increase in α.
