Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect.
In the bonding molecular orbital (MO) of $H_{2}$ electron density is increased between the nuclei. The bonding MO is $ψ_{A}$ + $ψ_{B}$ which shows constructive interference of the combining electron waves.
Hence, the assertion is correct, reason is incorrect.
