Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
$S_{N} 1$ 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.
