Options

(a)

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

(b)

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

The assertion states that ZnO is reduced to Zn by carbon, which is a reducing agent. This is a true statement as carbon is a reducing agent that can reduce metal oxides to their respective metals. The reason provided explains that carbon is a reducing agent that reduces ZnO to Zn, which is also a true statement. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
