Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
NaOH dissociates to form Na+ and OH. While OH replaces Br from the compound, the carbocation is formed and since 30-carbocation is better than 20-carbocation, shifting will take place.
So, the product gives as major is actually minor.
Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
