Assertion: The bond length of C–O in phenol is shorter than bond length of alcohol; in general.

Reason: In phenol, OH undergoes resonance with benzene ring but in alcohol it is not possible.

Statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer, use the following code:

1 Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).  
2 Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).  
3 Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.  
4 Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.
