Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
When aniline acting as a base becomes NH+3, it is usually stabilised by salvation but if there is a substituent on the ortho position, it inhibits salvation.
Thus the tendency to act like a base is reduced.
