Nitro group is a electron-withdrawing group ( -I groups) It stabilise the carbanion because it disperse the negative charge on the carbon by attracting electrons or negative charge. So both the statements are true and correct explanation.

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

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

If assertion is true, but reason is false

Both assertion and reason are false statements
