Assertion : Glycosides are hydrolysed in acidic conditions. Reason : Glycosides are acetals.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
  3. CIf assertion is true but reason is false
