Case-based MCQs

I. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: 
The rate of a reaction, which may also be called its velocity or speed, can be defined with relation to the concentration of any of the reacting substances, or to that of any product of the reaction. If the species chosen is a reactant which has a concentration c at time t the rate is - dc/dt, while the rate with reference to a product having a concentration x at time t is dx/dt. Any concentration units may be used for expressing the rate; thus, if moles per liter are employed for concentration and seconds for the time, the units for the rate are moles litre^–1 sec^–1. For gas reactions pressure units are sometimes used in place of concentrations, so that legitimate units for the rate would be (mm of Hg) sec^–1 and atm. sec^–1. The order of a reaction concerns the dependence of the rate upon the concentrations of reacting substances; thus, if the rate is found experimentally to be proportional to the αth power of the concentration of one of the reactants A, to the βth power of the concentration of a second reactant B, and so forth, via.,
rate = k C_A^α C_A^β
the overall order of the reaction is simply
n = a + b
Such a reaction is said to be of the ath order with respect to the substance A, the bth order with respect to B. In the following questions, a statement of Assertion followed by a statement of Reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices on the basis of the above passage.
(A) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
(B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
(C) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
(D) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
