Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Tin exhibits $+ 2$ and $+ 4$ oxidation states only and not $+ 3$ oxidation state.

Inert pair effect of electrons in the s-orbital is responsible for the $+ 2$ oxidation state.

Thus, both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

Hence, the correct option is $B$

Assertion – The non-fusible impurities present in iron ore are removed by $C a C O_{3}$ .

Reason: $C a C O_{3}$ which decomposes into $C a O$ and $C O_{2}$ . The $C a O$ formed reacts with $S i O_{2}$ to remove silica
