Solution

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation: Assertion A is true because Benzene is indeed more stable than hypothetical cyclohexatriene. This is due to the delocalization of π electrons in Benzene, which allows the electrons to move freely across the carbon atoms, thus increasing its stability.

Reason R is also true and it is the correct explanation of A. The delocalized π electron cloud in Benzene is attracted more strongly by the nuclei of the carbon atoms. This strong attraction stabilizes the molecule, making it more stable than cyclohexatriene, where the π electrons are not delocalized.
