Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
The longest carbon chain has 3 carbon atoms. The presence of COOH group and $C_{6} H_{5} C O_{2}$ gives the name 3-benzoyloxy propanoic acid. Hence, the assertion is correct. But the reason is incorrect. $C_{6} H_{5} C O_{2}$ is called benzoyloxy group and not $C_{6} H_{5} C H_{2} O$ .
Hence, option (C) is correct.
