Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
(I) is non-aromatic and (II) is antiaromatic. Non-aromatic compounds are more stable than antiaromatic. Hence, (I) is a stronger acid than (II). Hence, it has lower pKa value. Thus, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
