Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion
Optically active $2$ -iodibutane on treatment with $N a I$ in acetone undergoes racemisation.
Repeated Walden inversions on the reactant and its product eventually gives a racemic mixture.
Hence, statement-I is true, Statement-II is true ; Statement-II is correct explanation for Statement-I.
