Facebook is the best because it is the most popular social networking site

Both , but the priority is for Facebook as it is more public , and segmentation based on age, gender, interest is easier than Instagram

FACEBOOK IS THE MEDIA CHANNEL FOR MARKETING, IT IS THE MOST COMMON SOCIAL MEDIA APPLICATION WHICH USED BY THE COMMON PEOPLE.

Don't use the word "best" in the context of marketing.  It doesn't really mean anything and it can be very unhelpful.

Which social media or other marketing channel produces the "best" results depends on the brand, the product, the objectives of the campaign, the company and the weather, amongst other things.  And it changes on a timescale of months.

The only way you will discover the answer is to test and measure.

Facebook could provide the best results for marketing than Instagram because of its high level of global reach and social media dominance.

I would agree with Mr.Abdulaziz

Whereas Facebook aquires pages with promotional offers that can help you get a better reach and not to forgot the never-ending options that you might use to modify your page. 

Its true that instagram also acquires pagge, but it doesn't acquire the power of hardcore marketing facebook provides. Whereas, instagram is better used for showcase marketing.

At this point of time, Facebook. Instagram user base still needs to expand a lot and also FB has multiple ways in which advertisement can be done as opposed to Instagram's limited options.
