Assertion: Ortho substituted benzoic aci...

Assertion: Ortho substituted benzoic acids are stronger than benzoic acid.
Reason: Ortho substituted tends to prevent coplanartity of `-COOH` with ring. Thus resonance is diminished which increases acidic strength (ortho effects)

A

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.
