Solution

The correct option is B If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Galvanic cell (voltaic cell) is a simple device with which chemical energy is converted into electrical energy. Galvanic cells consist of two separate compartments called half cells containing electrolyte solutions and electrodes that can be connected in a circuit. Two dissimilar metals (e.g., copper and zinc) are immersed in an electrolyte. If the metals are connected by an external circuit, one metal is reduced (i.e., gains electrons) while the other metal is oxidized (i.e., loses electrons).In this example above, copper is reduced and zinc is oxidized.
Option B is correct.
