Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Disproportionation is a specific type of redox reaction in which a species is simultaneously reduced and oxidized to form two different products.
As fluorine
shows an oxidation of only -1 and has a tendency to reduce, it doesn't undergo disproportionation reaction.
