Assertion(A): Activity of an enzyme is `pH` dependent.
Reason(R): Change in `pH` affects the solution of the enzyme in water.

A

If the both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false statements.
