Answer 2

Answer:

b) Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Generally, metallic oxides are basic in nature but, metal oxides react with acid to form salt and water because most of the metal oxides are basic or some are amphoteric in nature. Metal oxides that react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are amphoteric oxides.
