Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : undergoes $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction faster than Reason (R) : Iodine is a better leaving group because of its large size. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
