Explanation
$$\textbf{Correct option:}$$ (C)
$$\textbf{Explanation :}$$
$$\bullet$$ A redox reaction is one which involves both oxidation and reduction reaction simultaneously.
$$\bullet$$ In this reaction the $$Cl^{-}$$ in $$HCl$$ is oxidised to $$Cl_2$$ while the $$Mn^{4+}$$ in $$MnO_2$$ is reduced to $$Mn^{2+}$$ in $$MnCl_2$$.
$$\bullet$$ So, the assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
$$\textbf{Conclusion:}$$
Hence, the correct option is (C).
