Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion When attractive forces are dominant on volume increase particles will move away against attraction force for this system requires extra energy at constant temperature, hence internal energy will increases hence (dUdV)T is +ve.
