Solution

The correct option is D The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect
NH3 is a Lewis base that's why it is nucleophile and tendency to react with aldehyde group but glucose has not any free aldehyde group so, it does not react with it.
NH3 act as a Lewis base as it contain lone pair of electrons.
Thus, the Assertion is correct and the Reason is incorrect.
