Assertion `:` Benzene removes a butter stain from a table cloth.
Reason `:` Butter has an affinity towards benzene

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 but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

The best solvent to remove butter stain from cloth is :

Assertion: Benzene does not give electrophilic substition reactions. Reason: Benzene ring has extraordinarily stability because of delocalisation of six pi -electrons of three double bonds.

Assertion : Benzene is a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon but it is too stable to be an alkene. Reason : Benzene is resonance stabilised.

Assertion : Benzene diazonium salt on boiling with water forms phenol. Reason : C - N bond is polar.

Assertion : Benzene reacts with chlorine in the form of light to form BHC. Reason : BHC is also called gammexane or 666

Assertion: Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution. Reason: Nitro group, being an electron withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the benzene ring.
