Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Zinc reacts with $H_{2} S O_{4}$ to give $H_{2}$ because the reduction potential of zinc is lower than hydrogen.

Copper does not react with $H_{2} S O_{4}$ because the reduction potential of copper is higher than hydrogen.

Assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect.
