Read the passage given below and answer the question: In the last 10 years much has been learned about the molecular structure of elemental sulfur. It is now known that many different types of rings are sufficiently metastable to exist at room temperature for several days. It is known that at high temperature, the equilibrium composition allows for a variety of rings and chains to exist in comparable concentration, and it is known that at the boiling point and above, the vapor as well as the liquid contains small species with three, four, and five atoms. The sulfur atom has the same number of valence electrons as oxygen. Thus, sulfur atoms S_2 and S_3 have physical and chemical properties analogous to those of oxygen and ozone. S_2 has a ground state of 38 sigma 3s^2 sigma "*"3s^2 sigma 3pz^2 pi 3px^2=pi3py^2 pi"*"3px^1=pi"*"3py^1.S3 , thiozone has a well- known uv spectrum, and has a bent structure, analogous to its isovalent molecules O_3, SO_2 , and S_2O . The chemistry of the two elements, sulphur and oxygen, differs because sulfur has a pronounced tendency for catenation. The most frequently quoted explanation is based on the electron structure of the atom. Sulfur has low-lying unoccupied 3d orbitals, and it is widely believed that the 4s and 3d orbitals of sulfur participate in bonding in a manner similar to the participation of 2s and 2p orbitals in carbon. (source: Meyer, B. (1976). Elemental sulfur. Chemical Reviews, 76(3), 367-388. doi:10. 1021//cr603010003 ) In the following question, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion: Sulphur has a greater tendency for catenation than oxygen. Reason: 3d and 4s orbitals of Sulphur have same energy.

The rate of a reaction, which may also be called its velocity or speed, can be defined with relation to the concentration of any of the reacting substances, or to that of any product of the reaction. If the species chosen is a reactant which has a concentration c at time t the rate is - dc/dt, while the rate with reference to a product having a concentration x at time t is dx/dt. Any concentration units may be used for expressing the rate, thus, if moles per liter are employed for concentration and seconds for the time, the units for the rate are moles "liter"^(-1) sec^(-1) . For gas reactions pressure units are sometimes used in place of concentrations, so that legitimate units for the rate would be (mm. Hg) sec^(-1) and atm. sec^(-1) The order of a reaction concerns the dependence of the rate upon the concentrations of reacting substances, thus, if the rate is found experimentally to be proportional to the alpha^(th) power of the concentration of one of the reactants A, to the beta^(th) power of the concentration of a second reactant B, and so forth, via., rate kC_(A)^(alpha) C_(B)^(beta)" " (1) the over-all order of the reaction is simply n = alpha +beta + ---------(2) Such a reaction is said to be of the alpha^(th) order with respect to the substance A, the beta^(th) order with respect to B and so on...

In the following questions, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices on the basis of the above passage. Assertion: Reactions can occur at different speeds. Reason: Rate of reaction is also called speed of reaction.
