Solution

The correct option is C Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
The electrical conductivity of acetic acid will be more if a solution of NaOH is added. Acetic acid is a weak acid. It dissociates to a little extent. Whereas sodium acetate is a strong electrolyte and completely dissociates. $C H_{3} C O O H + N a O H \to C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} O$
$C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} O \to C H_{3} C O O H + N a^{+} + O H^{-}$
