Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
SO2 is a bleaching agent.
It reduces coloring matter to colorless.
The bleaching action of SO2 is either due to formation of nascent hydrogen or due to formation of colorless sulphites and bisulphites.
Thus, assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
