Note: In the following question a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
Assertion: Acetanilide is less basic than aniline.
Reason: Acetylation of aniline results in decrease of electron density on nitrogen.
  • A
    Both assertion and reason are wrong.
  • B
    Both assertion and reason are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation of assertion.
  • C
    Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
