Assertion: Oxygen atom in both `O_(2)` and `O_(3)` has oxidation number zero.
Reason: In `Fe_(2)O`, oxidation number of `O` is `+2`.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.
