Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) : and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as {\S}_8 while oxygen exists as {\O}_2. Reason (R) : Oxygen forms {\p} \pi- {\p} \pi multiple bonds with itself and other elements having small size and high electronegativity like {\C}, {\N}, which is not possible for sulphur. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below : [9 Apr 2024 Shift 1]

Correct Answer is : (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.

Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
