Assertion : The rate of reaction is always negative .
Reason : Minus sign used in expressing the rate shows that concentration of product is decreasing .

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.
