Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
$N a O H$ dissociates to form $N a^{+}$ and $O H^{-}$ . While $O H^{-}$ replaces $B r^{-}$ from the compound, the carbocation is formed and since $3^{0}$ -carbocation is better than $2^{0}$ -carbocation, shifting will take place.
So, the product gives as major is actually minor.
Therefore, both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
