Answer:
A is true but R is false. Correct option is C.
Explanation:
Oxidizing agent : Those reagents which oxidize other reagents present in the reaction are known as oxidizing agents. They themselves are reduced by accepting electrons and their oxidation number is decreased.
Reducing agent : Such reagents reduce other reagents and oxidize themselves by releasing electrons. In this course, their oxidation number is increased.
In the given reaction oxidation number of Zinc increases from 0 to +2 therefore it is a reducing agent while the oxidation number of hydrogen decreases from +1 to 0 , and it acts as oxidizing agent.
So, from the above discussion it is clear that the assertion is correct but the reason is false
