Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
The solubility of gases increases as the partial pressure of the gases above a solution increases. Because the concentration of molecules in the gas phase increases with increasing pressure, the concentration of the dissolved gas molecules in solution at equilibrium is higher at higher pressure.

But solubility of solids in liquids is unaffected as solids are incompressible.
