Solution

The correct option is B If both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
Sodium bicarbonate is an acidic salt since it contains one replaceable hydrogen and reacts with base. Sodium bicarbonate gives basic solution when dissolved in water as the anion of the salt undergoes hydrolysis producing free $O H^{-}$ ions.
