JEE Advanced Chemistry question

Statement 1: A hydroxy group directly attached to a carbonyl group constitutes a carboxyl group Statement 2: Ester is a family of carboxylic acid derivatives in which – OH group is altered by other group

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for AssertionCorrect
