Solution

The correct option is A Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
The correct expression for Dulong Petit's law is "molar mass (M) (g/mol) $\times$ specific heat (c) (J/g.K) $=$ 25 J/mol. K".
This equation is valid for metals and solids elements having an atomic mass more than 40 and not for all elements.
Hence, Assertion is correct but Reasoning is wrong.
