Assertion (A): The reaction MeCOCI with `MeCuLi` or `Me_(2)Cd` gives acetone but with `MeMgBr` a `3^(@)` alcohol `(Me_(2)C-OH)`
Reason (R) `MeMgBr` is much more reactive. `Me_(2)CuLi` or `Me_(2)Cd` does not react by nucleophilic addition reaction.

A

Both (A) and (R ) true and (R ) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

Both (A) and (R ) are true but (R ) is not correct explanation of (A).

C

(A) is true but (R ) is false.

D

(A) is false but (R ) is true.
