Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
A metal oxide is generally less stable than the metal sulfide. Hence, a sulfide ore is first converted into its oxide before reduction.
Highly reactive metals are not easy to be reduced.
Thus assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect.
