1.	Assertion: The conversion of fresh precipitate to colloidal state is called peptization. Reason: It is caused by addition of common ions.A. if both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertionC. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If the assertion and reason both are false.
