Assertion (A): Among the two O-H bonds in `H_(2)O` molecule, the energy required to break the first O-H bond and the other O-H bond is the same.
Reason (R) This is because the electronic environment around oxygen is the same even after brekage of one O-H bond.

A

A and R both are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

A and R both are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A and R bot are false.
