The correct answer is: If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Dissociation consant for :
$$
\mathrm{H} A \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}^{+}+A^{-}
$$
Can be given as :
$$
K_s=\frac{\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\left[A^{-}\right]}{[\mathrm{H} A]}
$$
Therefore, we can say that dissociation constant is a measure of its ability to furnish protons in the solution.
