JEE Main 2024 Chemistry question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : reaction of C₆H₅CH₂Br occurs more readily than the reaction of CH₃CH₂Br. Reason (R) : The partially bonded unhybridized p-orbital that develops in the trigonal bipyramid transition state is stabilized by conjugation with the phenyl ring. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• (A)(A) is not correct but (R) is correct
• (B)Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• (C)Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)Correct
