Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Iron is available in soil as both doubly positive ferrous ion form, as well as triply positive ferric ion state. The ionic state in which iron is available to plants is not related to its bioavailability to plants and it is wrong to assume that soil is generally deficient in iron.
