Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The decarboxylation of a tertiary acid in presence of sodalime involves a carbocation intermediate which is highly unstable and less likely to be formed. Hence, the decarboxylation fails. Thus, both the assertion and reason are correct and the reason is the correct explaination of the assertion.
