Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion

Staggered conformation - arrangement of carbon and hydrogen at the maximum distance that needed a torsion angle 60O.

Eclipsed conformation - arrangement of carbon and hydrogen at the minimum distance that requires torsion angle 0O.

A compound has higher potential energy those have less torsion angle and a compound are less stable that has higher potential energy.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
