Solution

The correct option is C
Assertion is correct but the reason is wrong

Collectors are the substances that help in attachment of the ore particles to air bubbles in froth. Thus ores are separated from impurities.
Sulphide ores are insoluble in water. Hence, collectors will get attached to the sulphide ores and the ore particles float to the surface. As a result, ores can easily be separated.
