Question

Assertion (A) Removal of water from $\left[ Ti \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]_{ Cl _{3}}$ on heating renders it colourless.
Reason (R) In the absence of ligand, crystal field splitting does not occur.

• A. Both $A$ and $R$ are correct; $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
• B. Both $A$ and $R$ are correct; $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
• C. $A$ is correct; $R$ is incorrect.
• D. $R$ is correct; $A$ is incorrect.
