The correct answer is:
Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are true and $\mathrm{R}$ is a correct explanation for $A$.
Critical temperature is temperature at which surface tension of liquid become zero. So it is true. At critical temperature, the intermolecular force between liquid molecules become very weak due to which interaction between molecules vanishes.
Hence, surface tension reduces. So, Reason (R) is also true and is a correct explanation for Assertion (A).
Hence, surface tension reduces. So, Reason (R) is also true and is a correct explanation for Assertion (A).
