Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)

Assertion (A): The first ionization enthalpy of 3 d3 \mathrm{~d} series elements is more than that of group 2 metals

Reason (R): In 3d series of elements successive filling of d-orbitals takes place.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  • B (A) is true but (R) is false
  • C Both (A) and (R) are true but (R)(\mathbf{R}) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  • D (A) is false but (R) is true
