The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation to Assertion White ppt. will be obtained when AgCl forms in solution but as pure CHCl3 is covalent compound so it doesn't provide chloride ion to react with AgNO3 and white ppt will not form. But impure chloroform contains HCl, which reacts with AgNO3 and white ppt of AgCl forms due to reaction given above.
