Assertion Phenoxide ion on treatment with active alkyl halide (e.g., CH 2= CH - CH 2 Cl ) gives two products viz. O-substituted and C-substituted. Reason Phenoxide ion is an ambident nucleophile.

Question

Assertion Phenoxide ion on treatment with active alkyl halide (e.g., CH 2= CH - CH 2 Cl ) gives two products viz. O-substituted and C-substituted. Reason Phenoxide ion is an ambident nucleophile. (A) If both Assertion: and Reason: are true and the Reason: is the correct explanation of the Assertion (B) If both Assertion: and Reason: are true but the Reason: is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (C) If Assertion: is true but Reason: is false (D) If both Assertion: and Reason: are false

Q. Assertion Phenoxide ion on treatment with active alkyl halide (e.g., $C H_{2} = C H - C H_{2} Cl$ ) gives two products viz. $O$ -substituted and $C$ -substituted.
Reason Phenoxide ion is an ambident nucleophile.

If both Assertion: and Reason: are true and the Reason: is the correct explanation of the Assertion

If both Assertion: and Reason: are true but the Reason: is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

If Assertion: is true but Reason: is false

If both Assertion: and Reason: are false

Thus, it gives two products, $O$ -substituted and $C$ -substituted with active alkyl halide.
