Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation — NaCl is an electrolyte because it conducts electricity when dissolved in water or in molten form, due to the presence of free-moving ions. Therefore, both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and the reason correctly explains why NaCl is an electrolyte.
