Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Froth floatation method is used for removing gangue from sulphide ores. In this process, a suspension of the powdered ore is made with water.
Collectors and froth stabilisers are added to it. Collectors (e.g., pine oils, fatty acids, xanthates, etc.) enhance nonwettability of the mineral particles and froth stabilisers (e.g., cresols, aniline) stabilise the froth.
Hence,assertion is correct and reason is incorrect.
