Assertion `:` `Cis-1,3` dihydroxy cyclohexane exists in chair conformation.
Reason `:` In the chair form, there will not be hydrogen bonding between the two hydroxyl groups.

A

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

B

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

C
