(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

Explanation:

Molar heat of vaporisation of water is more than ethanol because of presence of stronger H-bonding in water as compared to ethanol. It is also true that water is more polar than ethanol.
