Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Metallic character increases and non-metallic character decreases on moving from right to left in a period.
Reason (R): It is due to decrease in ionisation enthalpy and decrease in electron gain enthalpy in general, when one moves from right to left in a period.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
