The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Various chemicals are added to food. They are called food additives and are flavours and sweeteners, food colours (dyes), fat emulsifiers and stablising agents, flour improvers antistaling agents and bleaches, antioxidants, preservatives and nutritional supplements.
Thus, only few chemicals added to food items are called food preservatives.
and Only few chemicals increase the nutritive value of the food.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
