Question

Given below are two statements, one is labeled as Assertion (A), and the other one is labeled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): 2 Proline is an aromatic amino acid as it has a ring structure.
Reason (R): Aromatic amino acids have a benzene ring of its derivative side chain structures.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

Proline is an imino acid with a saturated pyrrolidine ring, not an aromatic amino acid.
The only standard aromatic amino acids are Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, and Tryptophan, which contain conjugated aromatic rings.
