Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
During addition of bromine to propane, cyclic bromonium ion is obtained as an intermediate. The double bond of the propene is donated to the electrophile Br+ ion. The cyclic bromonium ion is the resonance hybrid of structures I and II. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct but the reason is not the correct explaination of the assertion.
