Hint:- The person under the influence of alcohol usually has reduced ability in their senses. They lose their thinking capability and can do irrational things. Tests are usually done to analyze the breath of the person under the influence of alcohol.

Complete step-by-step solution:- A dope test is done to test whether the person is under any influence of drugs or not. It is usually done to keep a check on the sportspersons who take various types of drugs to improve their strength and stamina. There is an anti-doping act according to which if a sportsperson is found positive in the dope test then it can lead to their dismissal from playing that particular sport in the future and maybe banned due to it.
Dope testing is done to ensure that there is fair play among the competitors and to avoid the use of drugs amongst the sportsperson as they have various detrimental health-related issues. Usually, urine samples are taken for the testing of dope tests. So the assertion mentioned is false.
When under the influence of alcohol the signal transduction from the brain slows down and it also slows down the processing of the body. It affects the working of the nervous system and the body doesn't remain coordinated with the brain. This leads to a change in the behavior and mood of the person and also leads to the person talking nonstop or nonsense. Regular drinking of alcohol may damage various organs in the body especially the liver. It also leads to the reduced immunological responses of their body making them prone to various illnesses. Therefore, a drunk person usually feels freer and is very talkative. The reason mentioned is false.

So, the answer is 'assertion and reason are false', option (D)

Note:- A dope test is done to analyze the presence or absence of drugs in the body of a person. A urine sample is taken for analysis of the dope test. For testing whether the person is drunk or not breathalyzer is used. It gives the fastest result but is not accurate in measuring the level of alcohol in a person's body. The alcohol test should be done within 12 hours of the drink consumed by the person.
