Assertion (A): In the process of drying dishes with a towel, the wetting agent is the dish and the drying agent is the towel.
Reason (R ): The wetting agent gets wet during the process.

Options

A. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.
B. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct but `(R )` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.
C. If `(A)` is correct but `(R )` is incorrect.
D. If `(A)` and `(R )` are incorrect.

Answer

C

Explanation

`(A)` is correct and `(R)` is incorrect.
Correct (R): The drying agent gets wet during the process, since water must go into it. In redox reaction, the oxidant is reduced, the reducing agent is oxidised. The electrons are transferred in a manner similar to the water in drying analogy.
