Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
4CH3−3C|COOC2H5=2CH−1COOH
Here since −COOH is the principal functional group it gets lowest number than the secondary functional group (3-carbethoxy). So it is 3-carbethoxy-2-butenoic acid
