Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion In any group, 3rd period elements represent the ideal properties of that group. This is because they possess 'd' sub shell and show normal trend with other elements in all properties. 2nd period elements do not possess d sub shell and have extremely small atomic size. Therefore they cannot be studied as representatives of that group like 3rd period elements.
