Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
When hot water is poured in a beaker of thick glass, the temperature of inner surface of glass increases suddenly. Thus the inner surface of the beaker suddenly expands, with the outer surface being at almost constant temperature.
Thus the glass beaker cracks.
