Assertion(A) Electrolysis of NaCl solution gives chlorine at anode instead of `O_(2)`.
Reason(R) Formation of oxygen at anode requires over voltage.

A

Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

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

C

Assertion is true but the reason is false.

D

Both assertion and reason are false.
