An 'Assertion' and a 'Reason' are given below. Choose the correct answer from the following options : Assertion (A) : Vinyl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution easily. Reason (R) : Even though the intermediate carbocation is stabilized by loosely held p-electrons, the cleavage is difficult because of strong bonding.
