If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

(A) solution of $FeCl_3$ undergoes hydrolysis in water to form $Fe(OH)_3$,which is a brown precipitate.The chemical reaction is: $FeCl_3 + 3H_2O \to Fe(OH)_3 + 3HCl$.Since the formation of the brown precipitate is directly caused by the hydrolysis of $FeCl_3$,both the Assertion and the Reason are correct,and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
