Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Because inner d - orbitals are involved in hybridisation, the pairing of electrons occurs. The higher energy orbitals remain empty. Due to this, less number of or no unpaired electrons are present. The complexes are low spin complexes.
