| Assertion: Enzyme hydrolysis of sucrose is called inversion. |
| Reason: The configuration of sucrose gets inverted under these conditions. |
A) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason explains the assertion.
B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason does not explain assertion.
C) Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement.
D) Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement.
