Assertion: The reactant which is present in large amount limits the amount of product formed is called limiting reagent.
Reason : Amount of product formed does not depend upon the amount of reactants taken.

Options

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 correct explanation of assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Explanation

To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided.

### Step 1: Understand the Assertion
The assertion states: "The reactant which is present in large amount limits the amount of product formed is called limiting reagent."
- **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The limiting reagent is actually the reactant that is present in a smaller amount and gets completely consumed during the reaction, thus limiting the amount of product formed. The reactant in excess (present in large amount) does not limit the product formation.

### Step 2: Understand the Reason
The reason states: "Amount of product formed does not depend upon the amount of reactants taken."
