Solution

The correct option is C If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent because it decomposes readily under normal conditions.
$O_{3} \to O_{2} + [O]$

Nascent oxygen which forms on decomposition, is very reactive radical.
Nascent oxygen is responsible for the oxidation of number of substances.

The reason for powerful oxidizing agent is nascent oxygen and not the diamagnetic nature.
