Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Option (D) is correct.
A : C - C bond length in Zeise's salt is longer than ethylene, indicating some dπpπ back-bonding from the platinum atom to C2H4.
R : Double bond is shorter as compared to the single bond.
A double bond is composed of one single sp-sp bond and a second pi-pi bond, the first bond is already holding the atoms together, the pi-pi bond increases the strength of the bond and so draws the atoms closer together. This also results in the sp-sp bond strengthening as orbital overlap increases.
