Solution

The correct option is A If both assertion and reason are CORRECT, and reason is the CORRECT explanation of the assertion
Wrought iron is purest form of iron which contains carbon content upto 0.15%.

Steel contain carbon content from 0.15%-1.4%, and because of this slightly less percentage of carbon, wrought iron is more malleable and ductile than steel. Carbon brings rigidity to the structure of steel.
