Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion SN1 reaction is carried out in the presence of a polar protic solvent.
In the presence of a polar solvent, the formation of carbocation is easy. Polar solvent helps in the dissociation of C−X bond where X is the leaving group.
A polar protic solvent increases the stability of carbocation due to solvation.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
