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 reason is the true explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false
