Assertion: For the extraction of iron, haematite ore is used. Reason: Haematite is a carbonate ore of iron.

Options

AOnly the assertion is correct.
BOnly the reason is correct.
CBoth the assertion and reason are correct and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
DBoth the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

Correct answer

A. Only the assertion is correct.

Step-by-step solution

Iron can be extracted from Haematite ore. The Haematite is the mineral form of iron (III) oxide, one of several iron oxides. Haematite is not a carbonate ore. Hence, the reason is false.
