Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.

Assertion $(A)$ : $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and $\mathrm{NF}_3$ molecule have pyramidal shape with a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom. The resultant dipole moment of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ is greater than that of $\mathrm{NF}_3$.

Reason $(R)$ : In $\mathrm{NH}_3$, the orbital dipole due to lone pair is in the same direction as the resultant dipole moment of the $\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}$ bonds. $\mathrm{F}$ is the most electronegative element.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
