Assertion : When a metal is treated with conc. $HNO_3$,it generally yields a nitrate,$NO_2$,and $H_2O$.
Reason : Conc. $HNO_3$ reacts with a metal and first produces a metal nitrate and nascent hydrogen. The nascent hydrogen then further reduces $HNO_3$ to $NO_2$.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
