Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Calcium Oxychloride (CaOCl) is not reduced by hydrogen sulfide.
Only calcium oxide reacts with hydrogen sulfide to produce the following reaction: CaO+H2CaS+H2O
Calcium Oxychloride 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.
