Solution

The correct option is B Assertion is true, Reason is true and Reason is NOT the correct explanation for Assertion
Acetate ion forms a resonance structure where the negative charge is delocalized over all three atoms and therefore, two carbon-oxygen bonds are of equal length. The negative charge is spread over the end of the molecule equally. The two bonds are shorter than a single bond but longer than double bond.
Bond length decreases with multiplicity of bond between two atoms. For example, bond length of ethane > ethene > ethyne.
Hence, assertion is true, reason is true and reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.
