The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
SO2 can act both as an oxidising agent and a reducing agent but in this reaction, SO2 is an oxidising agent and H2S is a reducing agent.
SO2+2H2SS+2H2O
S2S+2e (Oxidation) (Reducing agent)
4e+SO2S (Reduction) (Oxidising agent)
