Solution

The correct option is A Both the statements are true and statement-II is the correct explanation of statement-I.
Nitromethane can undergo aldol condensation because just like the hydrogen of carbonyl compounds, the hydrogen of nitromethane is also acidic enough to participate in an aldol condensation reaction
So, both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is a correct explanation
