Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
(SiH3)3N is weaker base than (CH3)3N.
(SiH3)3N is planar while (CH3)3N is pyramidal and CH3 group is a electron releasing group which increases the electron density at nitrogen so (CH3)3N stronger than (SiH3)3N.
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
