Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | It is difficult to replace chlorine by -OH in chlorobenzene in comparison to that in chloroethane. |
| Reason (R): | Chlorine carbon (C—Cl) bond in chlorobenzene has a partial double bond character due to resonance. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
