Assertion : A bacterial cell with restriction enzymes will be easily infected and lysed by bacteriophages.
Reason : Restriction enzymes catalyse synthesis of protective coat around bacterial cell that prevents bacteriophage attack.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B

Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D
