Solution

The assertion is incorrect while the reason is correct. Viscosity is indeed a property of a liquid that opposes the relative motion among its different layers. However, the assertion is incorrect because the viscosity of a liquid generally decreases with an increase in temperature, not increases. This is because as the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases which allows them to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction more easily, thus reducing the viscosity.
