Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
As we know, gaseous molecules are at higher energy than water so enthalpy change is less negative for the condensation reaction. and because of this, the enthalpy change for the formation of $H_{2} O (l)$ is greater than that of $H_{2} O (g)$ in terms of numerical value.
