Answer
Correct option: A.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
This can be explained through structure of caro's acid $($peroxomonosulphuric acid$).$

Oxidation no. of $S = x,$ oxidation no. of $H = +1,$
Oxidation no. of $O$ in peroxo linkage $= -1 ($each$),$
Oxidation no. of other oxygen atoms $= -2 ($each$).$
$2 + x - 6 - 2 = 0$ or $x = +6.$
