The correct answer is:
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Due to the ease with which it can liberate nascent oxygen, $\mathrm{O}_3$ acts as a powerful oxidising agent.
$$
\mathrm{O}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{O}_2+\mathrm{O}
$$
$$
\mathrm{O}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{O}_2+\mathrm{O}
$$
