Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect The tetrahedral molecule has no geometrical isomers, since all the bond angle is same 109.50, for geometrical isomerism, at least one band angle should be different, otherwise, orientation will not different to show isomerism.
Also, tetrahedral complexes have sp3 hybridization.
Thus the Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.
