Succinic acid `(B)` can be prepared by both nitrile and carbonation method as shown.

Both paths give good yields of `(B)`.
`(A)` with `Mg` would lead to the loss of vicinal `Br` atoms to give alkene and `MgBr_2`.

A

If both `(A)` are `( R)` are true and `( R)` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.

B

If both `(A)` and `( R)` are true but `( R)` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.

C

If `(A)` is true but `( R)` is false.

D

If `(A)` is false but `( R)` is true.
