Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Reductive amination involves the transfer of an amino group from one amino acid to the keto group of a keto acid. For example, the reductive amination of glutamic acid involves the transfer of NH^2 to an alpha-ketoglutaric acid.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
