Solution
The correct option is A Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion The stability of a crystal depends upon the strength of the interparticle attractive force.
The melting point of a solid depends on the strength of the attractive force acting between the constituent particles.
Therefore, the stability of a crystal gets reflected in magnitude of its melting point.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
