Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
When benzene reacts with $C H_{3} C O C l$ in the presence of $A l C l_{3}$ Acetophenone $(C_{6} H_{5} C O C H_{3})$ will form.
This is a electrophilic substitution reaction. It is popularly named as as friedal Craft's acylation reaction.
Chlorination of Benzene:-
This “activated” electrophile can then be attacked by the nucleophile (the benzene ring) in an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
Hence option D is a correct answer.
