Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Symmetry:-Half filled and fully filled orbitals are more symmetrical than any other configuration and Symmetry leads to greater stability.
Exchange energy:-Exchange of the position leads to decrease in the energy (exchange energy), a greater number of exchanges take place in half filled and fully filled orbitals leads to greater stability.
