The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Diamonds are a bad conductor of electricity as they do not contain any free electrons in their outermost orbit.
The carbon atoms in diamonds show sp3 hybridization thus all the valencies of the carbon are satisfied by the other carbon atom and no free electrons are present.
