Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
This is an example of crossed cannizzaro reaction in which the aromatic aldehyde is reduced to alcohol and the aliphatic aldehyde is oxidized to alcohol.
With increase in electrophilicity on > C=O group. rate of attack of nucleophile increases.
Thus, Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
