Correct option is B- Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for AssertionWhite phosphorus is less statble and more reactive than red phosphorus because of angular strain in the -P-4- molecule where the angles are only -60-o-

Reason
It readily catches fire in air to give dense white fumes of $$P_{4}O_{10}.$$
Assertion
White phosphorus is more reactive than red phosphorus.
White phosphorus is more reactive than red phosphorus.

Correct option is B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
White phosphorus is less statble and more reactive than red phosphorus because of angular strain in the $$P_{4}$$ molecule where the angles are only $$60^{o}.$$
