Assertion : The water gas shift reaction...

Assertion : The water gas shift reaction can be used to increase the amount `H_2` in the syngas mixture.
Reason : In this reaction, `CO` reduces steam to `H_2`.

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 both (A) and (R) are incorrect.
