Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

Assertion - Ethers on reaction with air and light from hydroperoxides. These peroxides decompose violently at high temperature. Allyl-n-propyl ether with $O_{2}$ in light gives mainly 1-hydroperoxide allyl-n-propyl ether, as seen in reaction above.

Reason - The reaction proceeds via the formation of free radical and oxidation occurs at alpha $C$ atom.

Hence, Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
