Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Treatment of bromine water with propene yields 1-bromopropane-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:

Aromatization is the procedure of converting an aliphatic compound into a non aromatic compound using a catalyst. This is usually done through the pathwya of techniques like dehydrogenation where a non aromatic compound is converted into an aromatic compound. Examples: converting cyclohexane to benzene, androgens to estrogens, etc. The final product always contains a benzene-like ring structure which follows Hückel's rule.

Here are the important applications of alkanes in our everyday lives:

• Fuel in Vehicles
• Heating and Cooking
• Lubrication
• Power Generation
• Wax and Solvents

This happens due to the fact that they possess strong C-C and H-H bonds which are non-polar sigma bonds and cannot be broken easily. Also, they lack polar functional groups and are saturated hydrocarbons. These properties combined make them less reactive overall.
