Solution
The correct option is B Both assertion and reason are correct. Reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion Assertion is correct, since for a Bohr orbit: Angular momentum (mvr)=nh2π
Also it is true that Bohr's model could not explain splitting of spectral lines under the influence of electric field i.e. Stark effect.
However, the reason does not explain the assertion.
