The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
2S2O2−3+I2→S4O2−6+2I−
In the given equation the oxidation state of iodine is changed from zero to -1, that is a gain of electrons takes place which is the reduction. Means iodine is reduced, as gain of electrons is oxidation and loss of electrons is reduction.
