Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
When salt is ingested, it is dissolved in the blood as two separate ions - Na⁺ and Cl⁻. The water potential in blood will decrease due to the increase solutes and blood osmotic pressure will increase. While the kidney reacts to excrete excess sodium and chloride in the body, water retention causes blood pressure to increase. Saline water causes an increase in blood pressure not decrease in blood pressure.
