Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Zeise's salt is potassium trichloroplatinate.
Its formula is $K [P t C l_{3}] . H_{2} O$
It contains an $η^{2}$ ethylene ligand.
The ethylene ligand is attached to the platinum metal through pi bond.
Thus both assertion and reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.
