Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Cu²⁺ in water is more stable than Cu⁺. Reason (R): Enthalpy of hydration for Cu²⁺ is much less than that of Cu⁺. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) (A) is correct but (R) is not correct

(B) Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

(C) (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

(D) Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
