Solution

The correct option is C Assertion 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.

Benzyl amine is an aliphatic amine whereas aniline is aromatic amine.

Hence, benzyl amine (C6H5CH2NH2) is more basic than aniline.

Option B is correct.
