Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion. Iron and copper are micronutrients for plants. They act as electron carriers in thylakoid membranes and inner mitochondrial membrane. Iron and copper possess variable valency and can occur in different oxidation states. These minerals can thus undergo reversible oxidation and reduction. During oxidation they are able to donate electron, while during reduction they are able to accept to electrons.
