Assertion: Alkyl carbonaions like ammonia have pyramidal shape.
Reason: The carbon carrying negative charge has an octet of electrons.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanations of the assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D
