Reasoning: Tertiary haloalkanes have a less hindered carbon atom.
a. Both assertion and reasoning are true, and the reasoning is the correct explanation of the assertion.
b. Both assertion and reasoning are true, but the reasoning is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
c. Assertion is true, but the reasoning is false.
d. Assertion is false, but the reasoning is true.

11. Assertion: Aryl halides are less reactive than alkyl halides in nucleophilic substitution reactions.
Reasoning: The aromatic ring in aryl halides stabilizes the halogen atom.
a. Both assertion and reasoning are true, and the reasoning is the correct explanation of the assertion.
b. Both assertion and reasoning are true, but the reasoning is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
c. Assertion is true, but the reasoning is false.
