(b)If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(c)If assertion is true but reason is false.
(d)If assertion is false but reason is true.
Assertion: Ionisation enthalpies for early actinoids are lower than that for early lanthanoids.
Reason: 5f electrons more effectively shielded from the nuclear charge than the 4f electrons
of the corresponding lanthanoids.

Answer: Option A
:
A
Although the 5forbitals resemble the 4forbitals in their angular part of the wave-function, they are not as buried as 4forbitals and hence 5felectrons are less firmly heldin actinoids.
