Solution

The correct option is C The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect
Sulphur dioxide and trioxide ( $S O_{2}$ and $S O_{3}$ ) bleaches by reduction and they themselves gets oxidized to $H_{2} S O_{4}$ . Presence of moisture is essential for bleaching.
$S O_{2} (g) + 2 H_{2} O \to H_{2} S O_{4} (a q .) + 2 [H]$
$2 [H] +$ colouring matter $\to$ Colourless matter.
2. Bleaching by $S O_{2}$ and $S O_{3}$ is temporary as atmospheric oxygen re-oxidizes the bleached matter after some time.
therefore assertion is correct as they get reduce water and gets oxidize and thereafter bleaches the article by reduction. so reason is wrong
Option C is correct
