The correct answer is A. Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains why one atomic mass unit is defined as one-twelfth of the mass of one carbon-12 atom. Carbon-12 is chosen as the standard because it is the most abundant isotope of carbon, making it a stable and reliable reference point for measuring atomic masses.
