Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Tyndall effect is, in fact, the definite test to show the difference between a true and a colloidal solution. it works on the principle that light beams scatter due to the presence of large colloidal particles in the solution which separate the light however in a true solution the particles are not as large enough to scatter the light particles, that is why Tyndall effect is not seen in true solution. The reason is valid for the assertion.
