Assertion : In the reaction :
`MnO_(2) + 4HCl to MnCl_(2) +2H_(2)O + Cl_(2)`
HCl is getting oxidized while `MnO_(2)` is getting reduced.
Reason : The process in which oxygen is added toa substance is called oxidation whereas the process in which oxygen is removed from a substance is called reduction.

A

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).

B

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
