Assertion. Both C and CO can reduce FeO to Fe but at temperatures above 1073 K it is C which is a better reducing agent than CO while below 1073 K, it is CO which is a better reducing agent than C.
Reason. Above 1073 K, ` Delta _f G^(@)` for CO from C is more negative than that of FeO from Fe while below 1073 K, ` Delta _f G^(@)CO_ 2 ` from CO is more negative that that of FeO from Fe.

A

If both assertion and reason are true, and reason is not the true explanation of the assertion.

B

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

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false
