Solution
Assertion and reason both are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
Explanation:
The smallest aldehyde is formaldehyde. It features a triangular planar shape with two bond pairs and no lone pairings. C and O share one pair of electrons in their double bond. As a result, the C atom is sp2 hybridized. As a result, both Assertion and Reason are true.
