Assertion: Reaction of SO(2) and H(2)S i...

Assertion: Reaction of `SO_(2)` and `H_(2)S` in the presence of `Fe_(2)O_(3)` catalyst gives elemental sulphur.
Reason: `SO_(2)` is a reducing agent.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D
