The correct option is B If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

In the II - step condensation polymerization of aminocaproic acid lead to formation of Nylon-6.
Hence, both the assertion and reasons are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
