Assertion(A):The nitrating reagent for carrying out nitration of benzene contains conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` and conc. `HNO_(3)`.
Reason: In the presence of conc. `H_(2)SO_(4).HNO_(3)` acts as a base and produces `NO_(2)^(+)` ions.

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.
