The correct answer is:
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
Assertion and reason both are correct but reason does not explain assertion. Olefine monomers undergo addition polymerisation because it add on to other monomers of olefin through free radical mechanism due to the presence of peroxide initiator and double bond and produces high molecular mass polymers.
