JEE Main 2022 Chemistry question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : Experimental reaction of with aniline and anhydrous does not give o and p-methylaniline. Reason (R) : The group of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous and hence yields m-methyl aniline as the product. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• (1)Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• (2)Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
