Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect CalciumOxychloride(CaOCl) is not reduced by hydrogensulfide.
Only calciumoxide reacts with hydrogensulfide to produce the following reaction: CaO+H2⟶CaS+H2O
CalciumOxychloride is a oxizing agent as it itself has oxygen in its chemical formula through which it oxidizes others and acts as a oxidizing agent it is not a reducing agent as it itself undergoes reduction.
