Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason

Assertion A: Beryllium has less negative value of reduction potential compared to the other alkaline earth metals.

Reason : Beryllium has large hydration energy due to small size of \mathrm{Be^{2+}} but relatively large value of atomization enthalpy

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

Option: 1

A is not correct but R is correct


Option: 2

A is correct but is not correct


Option: 3

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
