Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: The total number of geometrical isomers shown by $[Co(en)_2 Cl_2]^{+}$ complex ion is three.
Reason $R$: $[Co(en)_2 Cl_2]^{+}$ complex ion has an octahedral geometry.
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
    $A$ is correct but $R$ is not correct.
  • C
    $A$ is not correct but $R$ is correct.
  • D
    Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
