Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
s-orbital is spherically symmetric, p-orbitals have dumbell shape and d-orbitals have double-dumbells. Among all five d-orbitals, $d_{z^{2}}$ has a different shape where it has one dumbell along z-axis and electron ring perpendicular to it. In the absenceof any field the orbitals have same energy i.e. they are degenerate orbitals but have different shape/orientation.
Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
