JEE Advanced Chemistry question

Statement 1: Hydrazine has two N as donor atoms and behaves as a chelating ligand Statement 2: Hydrazine is a neutral ligand

(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 Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is TrueCorrect

Answer: (D)
