Assertion: Alcohols have higher boiling points than ethers of comparable molecular masses.
Reason: Alcohols and ethers are isomerism in nature.

A

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

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation o the assertion.

C

if assertion is true, but reason is false.
