The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are false.
$\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH} / \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONH}_4$ is not an example of acidic buffer. Acidic buffer contains equimolar mixture of weak acid and its salt with strong base. e.g. $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH} / \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}$.
