Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Red phosphorus is largely used in the match industry. It is preferred to yellow phosphorus because it is non poisonous in nature. It is dark red in colour and is used to make the tip of the match. It is white phosphorus that shows phosphorescence and not the red phosphorus.
