Assertion : The resonance structure of ...

Assertion : The resonance structure of
`H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C-O-H ` is `H-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)C=overset(+)O-H`
Reason : Methanol cannot be represent by a resonance structure since the carbon atom has five bonds.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D
