$Assertion (A)$: White tin is an example of a tetragonal system. $Reasoning (R)$: For a tetragonal system, $a=b=c$ and $\alpha=\beta=\gamma \neq 90^{\circ}$. The correct answer is

  • A
    $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is not true.
