Assertion $(A)$ : Vinyl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution easily.

Reason $(R)$ : Even though the intermediate carbocation is stabilized by loosely held $p-$ electrons, the cleavage is difficult because of strong bonding.

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