Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Excess pressure inside drop is inversely proportional to the radius of the drop. Hence excess pressure inside smaller drops is higher which resist deforming forces better than the larger drops. Hence assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
