Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $\left(A\right)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $\left(R\right)$.
Assertion $\left(A\right)$ : Synthesis of ethyl phenyl ether may be achieved by Williamson synthesis.
Reason $\left(R\right)$ : Reaction of bromobenzene with sodium ethoxide yields ethyl phenyl ether.
In the light of the above statement. choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both $\left(A\right)$ and $\left(R\right)$ are correct and $\left(R\right)$ is the correct explanation of $\left(A\right)$
  
• B. $\left(A\right)$ is correct but $\left(R\right)$ is not correct
• C. $\left(A\right)$ is not correct but $\left(R\right)$ is correct
• D. Both $\left(A\right)$~ and ~$\left(R\right)$ correct but $\left(R\right)$ is NOT the correct explanation of $\left(A\right)$
