Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long-chain alkyl (methyl, ethyl or propyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids with an alcohol producing fatty acid esters. It is used as an alternative to diesel fuel. This is eco-friendly in nature. Biodiesel, bioethanol and biogas are types of biofuels.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
