Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): α-halocarboxylic acid on reaction with dil NH 3 gives good yield of α-amino carboxylic acid whereas the yield of amines is very low when prepared from alkyl halides. Reason (R): Amino acids exist in zwitter ion form in aqueous medium. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
