The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
We can use a capacitor of suitable capacitance as a choke coil, because average power consumed in an ideal capacitor is zero. Therefore, like a choke coil, a condenser can reduce $\mathrm{AC}$ without power dissipation.
