Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
Metals have the quality of reflecting light from their surface and can be polished e.g., gold, silver, and copper.
Non-metals are usually not lustrous, except iodine and diamond - the most lustrous of all the substances.
But the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Hence, option B is correct.
