The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
\(\mathrm{HC} \equiv \mathrm{CH}+\mathrm{NaNH}_2 \stackrel{\text { Ether }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{HC} \equiv \mathrm{CNa}^{+}+\mathrm{NH}_3\)
\(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{H}\) bond is strongly polar due to high electronegativity of carbon atom. Hence it gives \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)ion on reacting with a base or acetylene behaves as an acid.
