Assertion: Cinnamaldehyde (Ph - CH = CH ...

Assertion: Cinnamaldehyde `(Ph - CH = CH - CHO)` falls to undergo aldol condensation.
Reason : This is due to the fact that cinnamaldehyde does not have acidic `alpha - H`.

If Both assertion and reason are true reason is the correct explation of the assertion.

If Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explation of the assertion.

If assertion is true but reason is false.

(CH_(3))_(3) C - CHO does not undergo aldol condensation due to

three electron donating methyl groups

Cleavage taking place between `-C - CHO` bond

absence of alpha hydrogen atom in the molecule

bulky `(CH_(3))_(3)C` - group

Statement-I is True, Statement-II is True : Statement-II is a correct explanation for Statement-I

Statement-I is True, Statement-II is True : Statement-II is `NOT` a correct explanation for Statement-I

Statement-I is True, Statement-II is False.

Statement-I is False, Statement-II is True.
