Assertion (A) Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as `S_(8)` but oxygen exists as `O_(2)`.
Reason (R ) Oxygen forms `ppi-ppi` multiple bond due to small size and small bond length but `ppi-ppi` bonding is not possoble is not possible in sulphur.

A

Assertion is correct, reason is correct, reason is a correct explanation for assertion.

B

Assertion is correct, reason is correct, reason is not a correct explanation for assertion

C

Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect
