Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect, but Reason is correct.
Nylon is a synthetic polymer that is made from numerous strong tough elastic synthetic polyamide materials.

It is fashioned into fibers, filaments, bristles, or sheets and used especially in textiles and plastics.

On rubbing hair with nylon comb, static charge on the surface gets generated.

This is also observed when fur is rubbed with glass tube. Thus, synthetic fibres do generate static electricity.

Thus, Assertion is wrong and reason is correct.

Therefore, option D is correct.
