Assertion (A) Complexes of `MX_(6)` and `MX_(5)L` type (X and L are unidentate) do not show geometrical isomerism.
Reason (R) Geometrical isomerism is not shown by complexes of coordination number 6.
A. Assertion and reason both are true, reason is correct explanation of assertion.
B. Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
C. Assertion is true, reason is false
