Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion At 1atm pressure, boiling temperature is called normal boiling point and if pressure is 1bar then the boiling point is called standard boiling point of the liquid. 1bar pressure is slightly less than 1atm pressure therefore, standard boiling point of the liquid is slightly lower than the normal boiling point.
