The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Chloroform is slowly oxidised by air in the presence of light to an extremely poisonous gas 'phosgene'. Therefore, it is stored in dark bottles, completely filled so that air is kept out.
