Assertion (A): The bond angle in HOH (`H_2O`) decreases from `109^@`` 28'` to `104^@``31'`.
Reason (R) : `H_2O` has lone pair - lone pair repulsion and lone pair - bond pair repulsion.

A

`1`. A and R are true and A is supported by R.

B

`2`. A and R are true but A is not supported by R.

C

`3`. A is true but R is false.

D
