Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
$X e F_{6}$ reacts with silica or glass.
$2 X e F_{6} + S i O_{2} \to 2 X e F_{4} + S i F_{4}$
$2 X e O F_{6} + S i O_{2} \to 2 X e O_{2} F_{2} + S i F_{4}$
$2 X e O_{2} F_{6} + S i O_{2} \to 2 X e O_{3} + S i F_{4}$
Because of the stepwise reaction which finally produces the dangerous $X e O_{3}, X e F_{6}$ cannot be handled in glass or quartz apparatus.
