Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion According to Raoults Law,
Relative lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to number of solute species present in solution i.e., vant hoff factor.
As KCl ion dissociates ⇒ more species ⇒ more lowering ⇒ Less vapour pressure.
So, assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation.
