Benzoic acid does not undergo Friedel-Crafts reaction due to deactivation of the benzene ring by the electron-withdrawing effect of −COOH group. So assertion is true.
And carboxy group withdraws electron that why it will be deactivating andnot activating , that's why reason is false.
Hence the correct answer will be option-C
