Option: 1

Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.


Option: 2

Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.


Option: 3

The stability of these halides HF, HCl, HBr and HI decreases down the group due to decrease in bond (H-X) dissociation enthalpy which means the requirement of energy to dissociate one single chemical bond which is in the order of: H-F> H-Cl> H-Br> H-I.
