Solution
The correct option is D Both the assertion and the reason are false In the case of ethyne we have a total of three sigma and two π-bonds. Hence, the assertion becomes false. Also, the sigma bond is always stronger than the pi bond due to greater extent of overlapping. So, the reason is also incorrect.
