Statement 1: Carboxylic acids do not give characterstic reactions of carbonyl group.
Statement 2 : Carboxylic acids exist as cyclic dimers in solid, liquid and even in vapour state

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.
