Reason: The greater the s character of the hybrid orbitals, the greater is the
electronegativity.

Answer:
b) Both assertion and reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
Explanation:
More is the s-character present in a hybrid orbital of an element, more will be the electronegativity of that element. This is because s-orbitals have greater penetrativity and it experiences a greater effective nuclear change as they are closer to the nucleus of an atom.
