Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. H2SO4 in more viscous than water because in H2SO4, due to hydrogen bonding, several molecules bind together to form a cluster. Sulphur has highest oxidation state (+6) in H2SO4. Hence, both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.
