Dear Student,

As per the given details in the question, both, assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation- The premium for goodwill is the additional amount brought in by the new partner to compensate the old partners for their loss in the firm's share of super-profits. By crediting their capital accounts, the extra money is distributed among the old partners in their sacrificing ratios.

Therefore, as per the standard rules of Assertion-Reason type questions, option A is correct.
