Both the assertion and reason are correct and related. Bleaching powder can release chlorine gas when it comes into contact with organic matter, heat or light. Therefore, it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from organic matter to prevent accidental release of chlorine gas. Hence option A is correct.

Option (B) is incorrect because it incorrectly states that the assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect. Both the assertion and reason are correct. Hence option B is incorrect.

Option (C) is incorrect because it incorrectly states that the assertion is incorrect but the reason is correct. The assertion is correct, and the reason is also correct. Hence option C is incorrect.

Option (D) is incorrect because it incorrectly states that both the assertion and reason are incorrect. Both the assertion and reason are correct.  Hence option D is incorrect.
