Solution

The correct option is C
Assertion:- True

Reason:- True

Reason is the correct explanation of assertion

Sodium metal reacts violently with water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

$2 N a (s) + H_{2} O (l) \to 2 N a O H (a q) + H_{2} (g)$

This reaction generates a lot of heat (exothermic reaction) which is much above the self-ignition temperature of hydrogen gas and it catches fire and burns with a yellow flame (because sodium metal vapours are also present). Therefore, both the assertion and reason hold true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
