Reason (R) : Solid Boron has very strong crystalline lattice.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below ;
  • A
    Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) Is not the correct explanation of (A)
  • Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
