If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

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

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

This is due to greater electronegativity of $s p^{2}$ hybridised carbon to which carboxyl carbon is attached.
