Assertion A: Enol form of acetone [CH(3)...

Assertion A: Enol form of acetone `[CH_(3) COCH_(3)]` exists in `lt0.1%` quantity. However, the enol form of acetyl acetone `[CH_(3) COCH_(2) OCCH_(3)]` exists in approximately 15% quantity
Reason R: Enol form of acetyl acetone is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding which is not possible in enol form of acetone.
Choose the correct statement :

A

A is true but R is false

B

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

C

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

D

A is false but R is true
