Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion (A): The first ionization enthalpy of O is lower than that of N and F.
Reason (R): The loss of an electron from O leads to stable half-filled p orbital.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:  
1.    (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
2. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
3. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
4. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
