Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but reason is incorrect
Froth floatation process is based on the different wetting nature of ore and gangue particles hence it is used for sulphide ores. Mustard oil is not used as frother in froth floatation process, we use pine oil for that.
hence option (C) is correct.
