Assertion(A): Acetanilide is less basic aniline.
Reson(R ): Acetylation of aniline results in decrease of electron density on nitrogen.

Options

A. Both assertio and reason are worng
B. Both assertion and reason are correct statement but reason is not correct explaination of assertion.
C. Assertion is correct statements and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
D. Both asseration and reason are correct statements and reason is correct explanation of assertion .

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question.

### Step 1: Understand the Assertion
The assertion states that "Acetanilide is less basic than aniline."

- **Explanation**: Aniline (C6H5NH2) is a primary amine where the amino group (-NH2) is directly attached to a benzene ring. This amino group has a lone pair of electrons that can be donated, making it a good base.
- In contrast, acetanilide (C6H5NHCOCH3) is formed when the amino group of aniline is acetylated. The acetyl group (COCH3) is an electron-withdrawing group, which affects the basicity of the nitrogen atom.
