Assertion: $2-$Bromobutane on reaction with sodium ethoxide in ethanol gives $1-$butene as a major product.
Reason: $1-$Butene is more stable than $2-$butene. According to Saytzeff's rule,$2-$butene should be the product which is more branched or substituted compound and hence,more stable than $1-$butene.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
