Question

Assertion :D-Fructose is used for sweetening cold drinks but not in hot ones Reason: The sweet form is fructopyranose; on increasing temperature causes a shift in the pyranose $\rightleftharpoons$ furanose equilibrium towards the less sweet furanose form

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
