Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion Froth flotation method is used for the concentration of sulfide ores such as copper pyrites (CuFeS2). Copper is majorly found as (CuFeS2) making it the easiest to extract the metal from it. But that is not the reason for the assertion. Thus both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
