Reason R : Dacron is made up of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid monomers. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Options
- ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
- BBoth A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A .
- CA is correct but R is not correct.
- DA is not correct but R is correct.
Correct answer
A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
