Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Both assertion and reason are incorrect.
During iodination, $H I$ is formed which is strong reducing agent and reduces alkyl iodides back to alkanes. Hence, iodination is carried out in presence of oxidising agents like $H I O_{3}$ , conc. $H N O_{3}$ $H I O_{4}$ etc.
Among the halogens, iodine is least reactive towards halogenation and the reaction of iodine with alkanes is endothermic. Hence, iodination of alkanes cannot take place explosively.
