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.
