Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Each electron in an atom has only one spin quantum number.
The spin quantum number 's' accounts for electron spin. An electron can spin clockwise or anticlockwise, in two opposite directions. There are two possible values of 's' that are equal and opposite. The probability of rotation in one direction is only one half. Hence, spin quantum number can have two values +12 and 12.
