Assertion : In `IOF_(4)^(-)` a single lone pair is present an iodine atom trans to oxygen to have minimum repulsion between the `I=0` and the lone pair of electrons. Reason : The VSEPR model consider double and triple bonds to have slightly greater repulsive effect then single bonds bonds because of the repulsive effective `pi` electronsA. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - a
Assertion : To have minimum repulsion between the `I= O` and the lone pair of electron (has greater replusion effect), the lone pair is opposite to the `I= O `bond.
Reason : Correct statement.
