Assertion (A): Treatment of bromine water with propene yields 1-bromopropan-2-ol.
Reason (R) : Attack of water on bromonium ion follows Markovnikov rule and results in 1-bromopropan-2-ol.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A

  Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• B

  (A) is false but (R) is true.
• Correct answer
  C

  Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A ).
• D

  (A) is true but (R) is false.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
