Question
Assertion: When NaCl is added to water a depression in freezing point is observed.
Reason: The lowering of vapour pressure of a solution causes depression in the freezing point.
Options

Solution
Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
Explanation:
On addition of non-volatile solute (viz, NaCl) to water: NaCl solution is formed. Due to relatively lesser number of water molecules at the surface of liquid, the solution exerts a lower vapour pressure as compared to that of pure water. It is because of this lowering of vapour pressure that a depression in freezing point of water is observed.
