Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Distillation is a method of separating the constituents of a mixture (either liquid or gaseous state) by using a difference between their boiling point.
It is a physical process, not a chemical reaction using different boiling temperatures of constituents to separate them from others.
The liquids which have a difference in their boiling point by more than $20^{0} C$ can be easily separated by this method.
