Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are correct
The density of a solid is affected by change in temperature. Increasing the temperature generally decreases its density and vice versa.

The liquid as well as the container expands when heat is applied. So, the expansion of liquids observed here is not the real expansion but it is an apparent expansion. The expansion of liquid apparently observed without considering the expansion of the container is called the apparent expansion of liquid.

Hence, Both Assertion and Reason are correct
