Which of the following statement is false for heavy water? A It is a byproduct in some fertilizer industries. B it is used in exchange reactions for the study of reaction mechanism C Ita dielectric constant is higher than H_2O D It is used as a moderator in nuclear reactor.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Heavy water is used for the study of reaction mechanism. Reason (R) : The rate of reaction for the cleavage of O - H bond is slower than that of O - D bond. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
