The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Wien's relation gives $\lambda$ at maximum intensity, $\lambda_m \cdot T=$ constant

Stefan's law,
$\sigma T^4=$ Intensity of emission of a particular wavelength does not explains the shift of $\lambda_m$ with absolute temperature.
