D. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Answer

To analyze the given statements regarding the oil spill in Bombay in 1993, we will break down the assertion and reason step by step.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Assertion**:
- The assertion states: "In India, an oil spill occurred in Bombay in 1993."
- This is a factual statement. On May 17, 1993, a significant oil spill did occur in Bombay, where approximately 3000 to 6000 tons of oil spilled into the sea.

2. **Understanding the Reason**:
- The reason states: "Spreading of oil into sea is called oil spill."
- This is also a correct statement as it defines what an oil spill is. An oil spill refers to the release of liquid petroleum hydrocarbons into the environment, particularly marine areas, due to human activity.

3. **Evaluating the Relationship**:
- While both the assertion and reason are correct statements, we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion.
- The assertion is about a specific event (the oil spill in Bombay), while the reason provides a general definition of what an oil spill is.

4. **Conclusion**:
- Since the reason does not provide a direct explanation for the assertion (it does not explain why the oil spill occurred in Bombay), we conclude that while both statements are true, the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

### Final Answer:
- Both the assertion and reason are correct statements, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
