Assertion $A$ : If $A, B, C, D$ are four points on a semi-circular arc with centre at $'O'$ such that $|\overrightarrow{{AB}}|=|\overrightarrow{{BC}}|=|\overrightarrow{{CD}}|$, then $\overrightarrow{{AB}}+\overrightarrow{{AC}}+\overrightarrow{{AD}}=4 \overrightarrow{{AO}}+\overrightarrow{{OB}}+\overrightarrow{{OC}}$
Reason $R$ : Polygon law of vector addition yields $\overrightarrow{A B}+\overrightarrow{B C}+\overrightarrow{C D}+\overrightarrow{A D}=2 \overrightarrow{A O}$
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
