Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect A catalyst increases the rate of reaction either by increasing A or by-decreasing Ea or by doing both. Though catalyst is involved in the reaction, it does not appear in the over all reaction. Thus,its concentration remains constant throughout the chemical reaction.Also it has no effect on yield as it doesnt affect product formation.
