The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion (A) The assertion states that "Colloids are stable." - Colloids are mixtures where very small particles of one substance are dispersed throughout another substance. - They are indeed stable because the dispersed particles do not settle out under the influence of gravity, which is a characteristic of colloidal systems. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason (R) The reason states that "Brownian movement has a stirring effect, which does not allow the particles to settle." - Brownian movement refers to the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid (liquid or gas) resulting from their collision with fast-moving molecules in the fluid. - This random motion helps to keep the colloidal particles suspended and prevents them from settling due to gravity. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Between A and R - The assertion is true because colloids are stable. - The reason is also true because Brownian movement does indeed prevent the particles from settling. - Furthermore, the reason provides a valid explanation for the assertion, as it describes the mechanism (Brownian movement) that contributes to the stability of colloids. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, the correct choice is: **Option 1: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.** ---
