Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
The limiting reagent in a chemical reaction is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it.
The reactant which is present in a lesser amount and limits the amount of product formation is called limiting reagent.
Thus the amount of product formation depends upon the number of reactants taken.
Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Hence, option D is correct
