Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ Alloys such as constantan and manganin are used in making standard resistance coils.
Reason $R:$ Constantan and manganin have a very small value of temperature coefficient of resistance.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

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