Detailed Solution

Reaction between acetamide and NaOH/Br2,

CH3CONH2+4KOH+Br2CH3NH2+Na2CO3+2KBr+2H2O

So, the final product is methylamine, not acetic acid.

And, the role of bromine is to react with anion to form N-bromoamide.

Thus, both the assertion and the reason are false.

Hence, option (D) is correct.
