The following question consists of two statements one labelled ASSERTION (A) and the another labelled REASON (R). Select the correct answer to the question from the codes given below:

Assertion: In contact process of the manufacture of H2SO4, conversion of SO2 to SO3 by the reaction with oxygen, takes place in the presence of a catalyst V2O5.

Reason: The reaction which involves the conversion of SO2 to SO3, is exothermic, reversible, and the forward reaction leads to a decrease in volume.
