Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
Fluorine is the most reactive of all the halogens. It combines directly with every other element except oxygen and some of the noble gases. Hence, fluorine is called a super halogen.
As the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases.
Hence,Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
