The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
Catalytic converters in automobiles help in reducing pollution. A catalytic converter is an emission control device that converts toxic pollutants in exhaust gas to less toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction (oxidation or reduction).
Hydrocarbons are oxidised into CO2 and H2O in the presence of an oxidation catalyst (Pt or Pd) and NO is reduced to N2 by reduction catalyst. Catalytic converter has dual catalyst system. CxHy+(x+y4)O2xCO2+y2H2O2NO+2CON2+2CO2
