(a) Assertion and Reason both are true, Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason both are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true, Reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false, Reason is true.

 

Solution:

(a) When an answer of chelating ligand is added to arrangement containing poisonous metals ligands chelates the metal particles by development of stable complex.
