Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Solute: It is that component of the solution, which is present in a smaller amount by weight in the solution.

Solvent: It is that component of the solution, which is present in the larger amount by weight in the solution. A solvent may be a liquid, solid, or gaseous substance that dissolves another solid, liquid, or gaseous solute, resulting in a solution that is soluble in a certain volume of solvent.

For example, in the figure shown below, some sugar is added to the water. So, the solute is sugar and the solvent is water here.
