Select the correct option based on statements below:

Assertion (A): Boiling points of alcohols and ethers are high.
Reason (R): They can form intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
Hint: In alcohol intermolecular hydrogen bonding takes place.

The boiling point of alcohols is high but the boiling point of ether is low. In alcohol strong, intermolecular hydrogen bonding takes place but in ether weak dipole-dipole interaction takes place.

Hence, both Assertion and Reason are false.
