Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion PbS i.e. lead sulfide is insoluble in excess of NaOH(sodiumhydroxide). This is because, lead sulfide has a low solubility product which makes it insoluble when sodiumhydroxide is used in excess.
Also, PbS has low solubility product than lead hydroxide i.e. Pb(OH)2.
