Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
A reactant that is entirely consumed when a reaction goes to completion is known as limiting reactant.

The amount of reactant limits the amount of product formed.

For example, consider the reaction: C+O2CO2

If 1 mole of C and 2 moles of oxygen are present, then C is the limiting reagent and oxygen is the excess reagent.

The amount of product formed is 1 mole and not 2 moles.

Hence, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
