Required Answer:

Asertion

Brown fumes are produced when lead nitrate is hated

- The assertion is true because when lead nitrate is decomposed by heating, we get lead oxide (yellow), nitrogen dioxide (brown fumes) and oxygen gas.

Reason :

Nitrogen dioxide gas is produced as a byproduct due to the decomposition of lead nitrate.

- The reason is also true because nitrogen dioxide gas is released as represented above in the reaction. They are brown in colour and are released as fumes.

Hence:-

Assertion and Reason both are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion because it is describing about why brown fumes are produced.

Therefore∴ Option A is the correct option.
