Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Staggered conformation of ethane is most stable while eclipsed conformation is least stable because staggered form has the least torsional strain and the eclipsed form has the maximum torsional strain.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
