Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Neopentyl bromide being primary alkyl halide does not undergo $S_{N} 2$ reaction but proceeds via $S_{N} 1$ path because of steric hindrance caused by the bulky nature of tertiary butyl group.
