Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The reaction is as follows:
+8XeO46+21F+6H+6XeO3+0F2+3H2O
The oxidation number of Xe decreases from +8 to +6 in XeO3 while that of F increases from -1 to zero.
Therefore, XeO46 is reduced while F is oxidised.
Hence, XeO46 is a stronger oxidant than F2.
