Assertion `:` `2,3-`dimethyl but`-2-`ene is more stable than but`-2-`ene.
Reason `:` `2,3-`dimethyl but`-2-` ene possesses `12 alpha-` hydrogen atoms whereas but `-2-`ene possesses only `6 alph-`hydrogen atms and therefore former shows more pronounced hyperconjugation.
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 reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
