The answer is (b) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.
Carbon can form compunds with chain, branched and ring structures in their compunds and also with other carbon atoms. Carbon is considered to be special as it has a property of forming long chains. This property is known as catenation property of carbon. This is also due to the small size of carbon atoms and the carbon- carbon bond is strong.
Isomerism is a property of compunds in which the molecular formula of the compound is the same but the structure and the chemical propeties are different.
