Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Both metals reacts with NaOH (base) as well as HCl (acid), hence are amphoteric:
Sn+2NaOH+H2ONa2SnO3+2H2
Sn+2HClSnCl2+H2
Similarly with lead.
Pb+2NaOH+H2ONa2PbO3+2H2
Pb+2HClPbCl2+H2
Hence option A is correct.
