Assertion`(A):` Whne acidified `ZnSO_(4)` solution is electrolyzed between `Zn` electrodes, it is `Zn` that is deposited at the cathode and `H_(2)(g)` is not evolved.
Reason `(R):` The electrode potential of `Zn` is more negative than hydrogen as the overpotential for hydrogen evolution in `Zn` is quite large.

A

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

B

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

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect

D

If (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct.
