Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Benzene does not have true single and double bonds between its carbon atoms in the ring, as the molecule is planar i.e all the carbon atoms show $S P^{2}$ hybridization, and all the 6 pi electrons are delocalized in the ring exhibiting resonance.
