The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Reactivity of SN1 reaction is compared by the stability of its carbocation intermediate.
1o allylic halides are more reactive than 1oRX in SN1 reaction due to the formation of the allylic carbocation.
Allylic carbocation intermediate is stabilised by resonance.
Hence correct option is A
