Answer 2

The correct option is B.

• Reduction means decrease in oxidation state of an atom. So, when a substance looses its oxygen or gains hydrogen atoms its oxidation state decreases. As for example when the oxide MO releases its oxygen atom or gains hydrogen atom it get reduced.
• The reaction between hydrogen and chloride is-
• $H_2+Cl_2\rightarrow 2HCl$
• So, in this reaction the hydrogen gas get reduced to HCl.
• Thus the assertion and reason both are correct but the reason is not explanation of assertion.
