Assertion : $m$-Bromotoluene can be prepared from $m$-toluidine. Reason : Amino group is meta-directing.

• A

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

  If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
• Correct answer
  C

  If assertion is true but reason is false.
• D

  If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

$m$-Bromotoluene can be prepared from $m$-toluidine.
Amino group $\left(-\mathrm{NH}_2\right)$ is $o$-and $p$-directing group.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
