Assertion :Sulphanilic acid exists as dipolar ion whereas p-aminobenzoic acid does not.

Reason :Carboxyl group being more acidic than$-S{O}_{3}H$group can easily transfer a$H^{+}$ to the amino group.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
• D. If the assertion and reason both are false.

$-S{O}_{3}H$group being more acidic than$-C{O}_{2}H$group can easily transfer a proton to the amino group.
