Assertion: o-Nitrophenol is more volatile than p-nitrophenol Reason: Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is present in o-nitrophenol while intermolecular H - bonding is in p-nitrophenol. (A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion (B) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion (C) If Assertion is true but Reason is false (D) If Assertion is false but Reason is true

p-Nitrophenol has higher boiling point than o-nitrophenol, because intermolecular hydrogen bonding present in p-nitrophenol is responsible for it. But intramolecular hydrogen bonding in o-nitrophenol does not effect boiling point.

Q. Assertion : o-Nitrophenol is more volatile than p-nitrophenol
Reason : Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is present in o-nitrophenol while intermolecular H - bonding is in p-nitrophenol.

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

If Assertion is true but Reason is false

If Assertion is false but Reason is true

$p$ -Nitrophenol has higher boiling point than $o$ -nitrophenol, because intermolecular hydrogen bonding present in $p$ -nitrophenol is responsible for it. But intramolecular hydrogen bonding in $o$ -nitrophenol does not effect boiling point.
