Assertion `:` Glucose and fructose both reduce Schiff's reagent.
Reason`:` Both have free carbonyl group.

A

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

B

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

C

If the assertion is ture but reason is false.
