Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A :$ Activated charcoal adsorbs $SO_{2}$ more efficiently than $CH_{4}$.
Reason $R$ : Gases with lower critical temperatures are readily adsorbed by activated charcoal.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct.
