Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Zinc is more electropositive than hydrogen. hence, it can displace hydrogen from acids such as HCl and sulphuric acid.
Similarly, N is more electronegative than hydrogen. Hence, NO3 ion is reduced in preference to hydronium ion.
