Solution
The correct option is CAssertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion Aliphatic amines are stronger bases as compared to aromatic amines.
This is because, in aromatic amines, the lone pair on nitrogen is involved in delocalization with aromatic nucleus.
