Assertion : Water kept in an open vessel will quickly evaporate on the surface of the moon.
Reason : The temperature at the surface of the moon is much higher than boiling point of the water.

A

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

B

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

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false

D

If the both the assertion and reason are false.
