The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Bromine is much less reactive but more selective than chlorine in radical halogenation.

It is because the bromine atom has a significant Eact in the first step of propagation. The greater the difference between activation energies, the larger the selectivity. So the reaction is much more controllable and selective.
