Dehydration of alcohols can be carried out with conc. $H_{2} S O_{4}$ as it is a dehydrating agent and removes a molecule of water from alcohols resulting in the formation of alkenes at higher temperatures. Conc. $H C l$ is not a dehydrating agent.
$H_{2} S O_{4}$ is indeed a dibasic acid and $H C l$ is not. But it is not the reason that $H C l$ is not a dehydrating agent.

So, both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation to assertion.
The correct option is 'B'.
