Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$ : Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as $S_8$ while oxygen exists as $O_2$.
Reason $(R)$ : Oxygen forms $p \pi-p \pi$ multiple bonds with itself and other elements having small size and high electronegativity like $C, N$,which is not possible for sulphur.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

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