Solution
If Assertion is INCORRECT but Reason is CORRECT.
Explanation:
The assertion is incorrect because sedimentary rocks are not formed by solidification of molten substances; that describes the formation of igneous rocks. The reason is correct because sedimentary rocks are indeed called secondary rocks, as they are formed by the deposition and compaction of sediments derived from pre-existing rocks.
