Two statements [A] and [B] are given below. Choose the correct option. A) Protonated \(R-CH_2-OH\) can serve as electrophiles while neutral \(R-OH\) acts as a nucleophile. B) The bond between \(O-H\) cleaves when \(R-CH_2-OH\) acts as electrophiles and the bond between \(C-O\) cleaves when they act as nucleophiles.

Show Hint

Nucleophilic action of alcohol: \[ O-H \text{ bond breaks} \] Electrophilic action of alcohol: \[ C-O \text{ bond breaks} \]
